Dylan Hua has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 4.92, set at Melbourne Summer 2022, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 57th in Australia. Until April 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2017, he has put 410 official solves on the record across ten 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.
