Aibolat Barys

Pyraminx · top 0.37% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019BARY01

Aibolat Barys has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.46, set at Cubing Kazakhstan Nationals 2022, puts him in the top 0.37% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Kazakhstan. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2019, he has put 392 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.21 in January 2019 to 7.05, a 47% improvement. Aibolat has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
