Professor of Speed Cubing
Ryan Pilat is Calvin’s Farm’s first clear success story — and one of the strongest all-around speedcubers on Earth.
By Sum of Ranks (adding a cuber’s world rank across every official WCA event — lower is better), Ryan led the world in all-around single and average. As of September 2026 he remains #1 in the world by all-around average. That isn’t “pretty good at one puzzle.” That’s depth across the whole sport: 3×3, Square-1, one-handed, blindfolded events, big cubes, and the rest of the official slate.

The story (short version)
- First cube around age eight; taught himself from tutorials; first competition soon after.
- Homeschooled path that left room for deliberate practice, competitions, and teaching others.
- World-class Square-1 — including a Guinness-recognized 3.41-second world-record solve.
- Graduate proof for Calvin’s Farm: learn the rules, earn freedom, then play at championship speed.
