Artyom Shevchenko (Артём Шевченко)

Pyraminx · top 8.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018SHEV03

Artyom Shevchenko (Артём Шевченко) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.22, set at YJ Fest Moscow 2019, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 243rd in Russia. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2018, he has put 285 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.29 in May 2018 to 10.83, a 55% improvement. Artyom has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

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.
