Pyraminx · top 4.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022MAXW02
Charlie Maxwell has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.09, set at Meath Autumn 2023, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 61st in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2022, he has put 372 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.67 in August 2022 to 2.86, a 57% improvement. Charlie 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.
