Andrey Seleznev has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.63, set at Moscow South-West Open 2015, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 55th in Russia. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since October 2014, he has put 494 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 31.78 in November 2014 to 11.95, a 62% improvement. Andrey has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
