Ryan Shilling has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.36, set at Swoop in and Solve Oxford 2024, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,995th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2017, he has put 189 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.11 in April 2017 to 8.36, a 69% improvement. Ryan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
