Ryan Micke has been competing for a year. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.71, set at Mini-Sota Summer 2026, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 489th in the United States. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since March 2025, he has put 478 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.03 in March 2025 to 10.30, a 57% improvement. Ryan has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
