Cyril Barigand has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.86, set at Belgian Winter 2015, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in Belgium. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since April 2012, he has put 1,374 official solves on the record across 16 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 12.96 in April 2012 to 2.94, a 77% improvement. Cyril has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
