Dimitry Kruk
Pyraminx · top 6.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023KRUK03
Dimitry Kruk has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.66, set at Brookline Favorites 2024, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,573rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2023, he has put 154 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.27 in November 2023 to 18.55, a 43% improvement. Dimitry has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
