Pyraminx · top 6.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017SHUL04
Dmitriy Shulaev (Дмитрий Шулаев) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.82, set at Cubing Kazakhstan Nationals 2018, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 53rd in Kazakhstan. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2017, he has put 117 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.49 in October 2017 to 11.85, a 45% improvement. Dmitriy has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
