Pyraminx · top 5.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018FLOW01

Declan Flowers has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.48, set at Apollo Bay Cubing 2022, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 241st in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 30 competitions since June 2018, he has put 1,091 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.09 in June 2018 to 9.64, a 44% improvement. Declan has entered 30 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
