Pyraminx · top 4.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023HERM06
Daniel Flores Hermosa has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.26, set at Écija Open 2025, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 144th in Spain. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2023, he has put 186 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 16.04 in July 2023 to 3.26, an 80% improvement. Daniel has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
