Brady Dong has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at Diamond Bar September 2022, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,860th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since February 2022, he has put 195 official solves on the record across twelve events.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
