Isaiah Behymer has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.74, set at Wiscube 2018, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,382nd in the United States.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.44 in November 2014 to 8.74, a 55% improvement. Isaiah has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
