Hayes Sperbeck has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.37, set at 2x2 in a Madison Lodge 2022, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 650th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2022, he has put 189 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.94 in December 2022 to 9.86, a 24% improvement. Hayes has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
