Ryan Hiew has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.05, set at Head to UBC Morning 2026, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 489th in Canada. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2025, he has put 133 official solves on the record across seven events.

Ryan has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
