Michael Boyle has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 21.95, set at Land of Lincoln 2024, puts him in the top 45.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26,115th in the United States. Across 9 competitions since March 2024, he has put 167 official solves on the record across eight events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
