Square-1 · top 2.5% of 25,272 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019DAZA02
Bryan Daza has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 7.64, set at Caloocan Cube Fest 2023, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in the Philippines. Until November 2013, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since June 2019, he has put 309 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.71 in June 2019 to 10.09, a 46% improvement. Bryan has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
