Isaiah Stairs has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 6.79, set at Atlantic Open Fall 2017, puts him in the top 26.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,116th in Canada. Across 11 competitions since July 2012, he has put 237 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 10 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 9.61 in July 2012 to 5.38, a 44% improvement. Isaiah has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
