4×4 · top 11.3% of 83,917 all-time · competing since November 2013 · 2013GRIF01

Ryan Griffiths has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 39.30, set at WCA World Championship 2019, puts him in the top 11.3% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 293rd in Australia. Across 7 competitions since November 2013, he has put 213 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.65 in November 2013 to 12.18, a 51% improvement. Ryan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
