Carlo Brugnoli
Pyraminx · top 4.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022BRUG02
Carlo Brugnoli has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.14, set at Rubik's Italian Championship 2025, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 88th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2022, he has put 304 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.67 in July 2022 to 11.00, a 47% improvement. Carlo has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
