Elias Savolainen has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.36, set at Danish Championship 2024, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in Denmark. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2023, he has put 121 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.74 in March 2023 to 4.36, a 50% improvement. Elias has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
