Achilles Standring has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.45, set at Guangzhou Grand Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.37% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in Canada. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since September 2022, he has put 676 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 6.49 in September 2022 to 1.24, an 81% improvement. Achilles has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
