Arthur Provot has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.41, set at Chevry Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.32% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in France. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 60 competitions since November 2018, he has put 3,863 official solves on the record across 16 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.41 in November 2018 to 6.73, a 61% improvement. Arthur has entered 60 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.
