Daniil Nahornyi (Данііл Нагорний) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.45, set at Darmstadt Dodecahedron Days 2024, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 176th in Ukraine. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2019, he has put 253 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.74 in March 2024 to 11.28, a 33% improvement. Daniil 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.
