Bruno Pontesilli
Pyraminx · top 6.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025PONT01
Bruno Pontesilli has been competing for 11 months. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.83, set at Swisscubing Cup I 2026, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 141st in Italy. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2025, he has put 96 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.24 in October 2025 to 12.27, a 29% improvement. Bruno has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
