Jake Bryant has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.09, set at Cube Against Cancer - Orange County 2026, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,134th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since January 2019, he has put 223 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:20.27 in January 2019 to 14.98, an 81% improvement. Jake has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
