Aaron Paskow has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.62, set at SacCubing XVIII 2024, puts him in the top 0.57% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 177th in the United States. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 69 competitions since October 2016, he has put 2,192 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 31.76 in October 2016 to 7.16, a 77% improvement. Aaron has entered 69 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
