Bryce Hayes

2×2 · top 8.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2014 · 2014HAYE01

Bryce Hayes has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.47, set at Sydney Championship 2016, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 654th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2014, he has put 112 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.36 in August 2014 to 14.19, a 44% improvement. Bryce has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
