Tyler Barry

3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023BARR25

Tyler Barry has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.40, set at Queensland Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 85th in South Africa. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2023, he has put 289 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.13 in July 2023 to 10.40, a 65% improvement. Tyler has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
