Alan Galym (Алан Галым) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at SCS1 Almaty Open Air 2019, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Kazakhstan. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2018, he has put 421 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.61 in June 2018 to 9.32, a 52% improvement. Alan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
