Diana Kostadinova has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.38, set at Macedonia Open 2023, puts her in the top 9.6% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in North Macedonia. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2019, she has put 142 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 27.75 in October 2019 to 12.17, a 56% improvement. Diana has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
