Alexander Toshev has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.73, set at Blagoevgrad Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Bulgaria. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2019, he has put 175 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 43.45 in August 2019 to 9.67, a 78% improvement. Alexander has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
