Enda Loftus has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.27, set at Mayo Cubing 2025, puts him in the top 0.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Ireland. Until January 2018, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since November 2021, he has put 2,110 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.67 in November 2021 to 6.60, a 32% improvement. Enda has entered 28 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
