Archimedes Dines has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.17, set at North Sydney No Seeing 2026, puts him in the top 0.13% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in Australia. Until June 2018, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since March 2023, he has put 1,224 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 23.97 in March 2023 to 7.47, a 69% improvement. Archimedes has entered 37 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
