Benjamin Carneiro Edwards
Pyraminx · top 5.6% of 130,891 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023EDWA11
Benjamin Carneiro Edwards has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.53, set at Floripa ao Cubo 2026, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 125th in Brazil. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2023, he has put 180 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.27 in May 2023 to 11.35, a 53% improvement. Benjamin has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
