Daniil Badalato

Pyraminx · top 7.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016BADA01

Daniil Badalato has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.92, set at Milan Cube Day 2017, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2016, he has put 107 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% 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 19.30 in March 2016 to 13.53, a 30% improvement. Daniil has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
