Dylan Zilifian
Pyraminx · top 7.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014ZILI01
Dylan Zilifian has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.96, set at Melrose Spring 2015, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,903rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since December 2014, he has put 139 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 53.51 in December 2014 to 24.25, a 55% improvement. Dylan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
