Ryan Osborne has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.31, set at Caltech Fall Open 2014, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 586th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2013, he has put 210 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 30.41 in November 2013 to 9.35, a 69% improvement. Ryan has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
