Adam Lotter
Pyraminx · top 8.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023LOTT01
Adam Lotter has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.06, set at Mid Summer Madness Cape Town 2024, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 61st in South Africa. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2023, he has put 90 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.45 in April 2023 to 15.45, a 31% improvement. Adam has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
