Pyraminx · top 7.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022MOHA04
Belkacem Mohand has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.86, set at Marseille Open 2022, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Algeria. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2022, he has put 147 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 39.01 in May 2022 to 15.88, a 59% improvement. Belkacem has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
