Alberto Gardelli
Pyraminx · top 3.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023GARD10
Alberto Gardelli has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.97, set at Swisscubing Cup IV 2024, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since April 2023, he has put 363 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 11 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.49 in April 2023 to 11.37, a 55% improvement. Alberto has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

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.
