Andrew Thornberry

Pyraminx · top 51.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023THOR04

Andrew Thornberry has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 9.74, set at Orange 2026, puts him in the top 51.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,906th in Australia. Across 12 competitions since March 2023, he has put 141 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 51.27 in March 2023 to 32.34, a 37% improvement. Andrew has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
