2×2 · top 3.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022MURP17
Dylan Murphy has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.71, set at Let's Go Carlow 2025, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 58th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2022, he has put 141 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.63 in November 2022 to 10.31, a 24% improvement. Dylan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
