Emmet Southfield
Pyraminx · top 6.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017SOUT01
Emmet Southfield has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.76, set at Three Seconds Snakes 2018, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,677th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2017, he has put 194 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.54 in October 2017 to 15.57, a 45% improvement. Emmet has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
