Brandon McCann has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.24, set at Rubik's Irish Championship 2025, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in Ireland. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since July 2022, he has put 1,143 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 34.54 in July 2022 to 9.42, a 73% improvement. Brandon has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
