Ryan Perez has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.75, set at Thrice as Nice Miami 2025, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 686th in the United States. Until January 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2019, he has put 180 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.15 in March 2019 to 6.75, a 63% improvement. Ryan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
