Claudio Müller has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.97, set at Danish Open 2011, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2010, he has put 198 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.91 in March 2010 to 11.44, a 32% improvement. Claudio has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
