Brett Kaplan has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.00, set at Caltech Fall 2015, puts him in the top 14.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,587th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since August 2015, he has put 77 official solves on the record across four 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.
