Dmitriy Kukuev has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.71, set at Siberia Open 2020, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 62nd in Russia. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2017, he has put 394 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.11 in October 2017 to 9.77, a 51% improvement. Dmitriy has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
