Connor Scott Paton has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.59, set at Peoria Fall 2023, puts him in the top 32.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,211th in the United States. Across 12 competitions since October 2022, he has put 101 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.57 in October 2022 to 28.98, a 36% improvement. Connor has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
