Elis Elmkvist has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.74, set at Spanish Championship 2023, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 164th in Sweden. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2023, he has put 222 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.94 in July 2023 to 10.32, a 31% improvement. Elis has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
