Andy Collentro
Pyraminx · top 9.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2010 · 2010COLL02
Andy Collentro has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.43, set at United States Rubik's Cube Championships 2010, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,552nd in the United States. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2010, he has put 212 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.15 in March 2010 to 16.27, a 15% improvement. Andy has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
