Emil Axelsson has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.43, set at Minx in Rottne 2025, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 234th in Sweden. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2021, he has put 134 official solves on the record across five events.

Emil has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
