Thomas Bryan has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at CubingUSA Georgia Championship 2018, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 198th in the United States. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since January 2017, he has put 1,306 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.47 in January 2017 to 7.55, a 51% improvement. Thomas has entered 37 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
