Myles Kinyita has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.16, set at Nairobi Twist & Turn 2026, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Kenya. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2025, he has put 143 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.94 in March 2025 to 9.16, a 65% improvement. Myles has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
