Kayla Tao has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.58, set at Canberra Spring 2024, puts her in the top 9.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 814th in Australia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2024, she has put 54 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 18.99 in May 2024 to 10.58, a 44% improvement. Kayla has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
