Dylan Keyser has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.30, set at Maryland 2017, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,894th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2016, he has put 206 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.57 in June 2016 to 8.30, a 50% improvement. Dylan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
