Bowman Dean
Pyraminx · top 37.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016DOMI06
Bowman Dean has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.10, set at Slow N Steady Summer 2018, puts him in the top 37.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,506th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since October 2016, he has put 124 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.01 in October 2016 to 19.02, a 34% improvement. Bowman 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.
