Sonny Hayman has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.53, set at Australian Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 186th in Australia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since November 2023, he has put 177 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.52 in November 2023 to 17.32, a 47% improvement. Sonny has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
