Bence Irsik
Pyraminx · top 2.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2009 · 2009IRSI01
Bence Irsik has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Hungarian Open 2012, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Hungary. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2009, he has put 344 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.93 in October 2009 to 9.53, a 58% improvement. Bence has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
