Pyraminx · top 4.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022TAYL01
Eli Taylor has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.31, set at Launceston Autumn 2023, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 209th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since January 2022, he has put 360 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.80 in January 2022 to 2.56, a 56% improvement. Eli has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
