3×3 · top 5.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017ARNY01
Brandon Arnyai has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.40, set at Oregon State Favorites 2018, puts him in the top 5.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,243rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2017, he has put 111 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.51 in March 2017 to 9.40, a 60% improvement. Brandon has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
