Daniel Ginina Vunge
Pyraminx · top 5.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023VUNG03
Daniel Ginina Vunge has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.40, set at Hotel Forum Open 2025, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Angola. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2023, he has put 159 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% 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 12.01 in May 2023 to 10.23, a 15% improvement. Daniel has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
