Ryan Cheyne

2×2 · top 17.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016CHEY01

Ryan Cheyne has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.30, set at POPS Open 2016, puts him in the top 17.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 334th in New Zealand. Across 7 competitions since April 2016, he has put 125 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.46 in April 2016 to 19.06, a 28% improvement. Ryan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
