Brigham Dent has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 10.82, set at AZCubing Winter 2017, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 553rd in the United States. Until August 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2015, he has put 304 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.80 in November 2015 to 13.04, a 31% improvement. Brigham has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
