Pyraminx · top 35.8% of 130,891 all-time · competing since May 2024 · 2024COCH04
Andrea Cochrane has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.95, set at Hurry Up Hutt Valley 2026, puts her in the top 35.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 483rd in New Zealand. Across 20 competitions since May 2024, she has put 349 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 9 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:33.96 in May 2024 to 52.10, a 45% improvement. Andrea has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
