Bogdan Kashin
Pyraminx · top 4.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023KASH06
Bogdan Kashin has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.10, set at Tashkent Open 2024, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2023, he has put 177 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.93 in May 2023 to 12.12, a 42% improvement. Bogdan 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.
