Bekzhan Zhomartuly
Pyraminx · top 0.98% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2018 · 2018ZHOM01
Bekzhan Zhomartuly has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.90, set at Burabay Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.98% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Kazakhstan. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since September 2018, he has put 562 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 15 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 4.03 in September 2018 to 1.90, a 53% improvement. Bekzhan has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
