Caleb Sullivan
Pyraminx · top 5.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017SULL01
Caleb Sullivan has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.47, set at Supreme South Open 2017, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 91st in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2017, he has put 201 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 4.18 in March 2017 to 3.47, a 17% improvement. Caleb 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.
