Christian Chow

Pyraminx · top 83.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016CHOW02

Christian Chow has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 15.51, set at Canada's Best in the West 2018, puts him in the top 83.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,192nd in Canada. Across 11 competitions since January 2016, he has put 54 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 3:25.56 in January 2016 to 1:01.78, a 70% improvement. Christian has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
