Ariunkhand Saruul (Саруул Ариунханд)
Pyraminx · top 2.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023SARU02
Ariunkhand Saruul (Саруул Ариунханд) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.41, set at CubingMGL Coldest Capital 2025, puts her in the top 2.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Mongolia. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since September 2023, she has put 288 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 14.11 in September 2023 to 2.41, an 83% improvement. Ariunkhand 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.
