Bronson Tidwell
Pyraminx · top 9.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025TIDW02
Bronson Tidwell has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.27, set at Blink and You'll Miss It NE 2026, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,381st in the United States. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2025, he has put 140 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 36,406 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 38.89 in June 2025 to 14.78, a 62% improvement. Bronson has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
