Ryan Patricio

3×3 one-handed · top 7.7% of 73,695 all-time · competing since October 2004 · 2004PATR01

Ryan Patricio has been competing for 22 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.80, set at San Diego Open 2008, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,030th in the United States. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since October 2004, he has put 462 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.82 in October 2004 to 11.00, a 66% improvement. Ryan has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
