Ali Yiğit Delikanlı has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.43, set at Loba January Ankara 2026, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 43rd in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2025, he has put 320 official solves on the record across six events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 10.79 in May 2025 to 2.23, a 79% improvement. Ali has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
