Brendan Rowley Morris
2×2 · top 9.5% of 189,179 all-time · competing since September 2025 · 2025MORR13
Brendan Rowley Morris has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.55, set at Gort-a Go Fast 2026, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 141st in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2025, he has put 125 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 20.94 in September 2025 to 2.55, an 88% improvement. Brendan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
