Daniel Fihrer

Pyraminx · top 13.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016FIHR01

Daniel Fihrer has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 5.07, set at Sydney Open 2019, puts him in the top 13.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 649th in Australia. Across 9 competitions since August 2016, he has put 130 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.99 in August 2016 to 13.20, a 68% improvement. Daniel has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
