Pyraminx · top 7.6% of 130,891 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025AIKE01
Blake Aiken has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.99, set at Wide Bay Cubing 2026, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 356th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2025, he has put 207 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.11 in April 2025 to 10.99, a 52% improvement. Blake 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.
