Ethan Morand has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at French Championship 2026, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 221st in France. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2023, he has put 195 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.91 in April 2023 to 10.82, a 22% improvement. Ethan 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.
