Pyraminx · top 8.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024GOOD03
Daniel Good has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.06, set at Rubik's WCA Oceanic Championship 2024, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 368th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since January 2024, he has put 202 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.19 in January 2024 to 13.01, a 55% improvement. Daniel has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
