2×2 · top 23.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022DARE01
Riley Dare has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.75, set at Cubing at The Cube 2025, puts him in the top 23.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,798th in Australia. Across 11 competitions since August 2022, he has put 114 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.43 in August 2022 to 19.96, a 40% improvement. Riley 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.
