3×3 one-handed · top 5.0% of 73,695 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022FREN01
Dylan French has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.34, set at Kewbz UK Open 2024, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 98th in the United Kingdom. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2022, he has put 306 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.31 in January 2022 to 4.04, a 45% improvement. Dylan 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.
