Ryan Retutal

3×3 · top 2.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2019 · 2019RETU01

Ryan Retutal has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.56, set at Cebu New Year Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 177th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2019, he has put 257 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.60 in December 2019 to 7.56, a 48% improvement. Ryan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
