Eythór Gauti Gíslason
Pyraminx · top 9.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019GISL01
Eythór Gauti Gíslason has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.36, set at Icelandic Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Iceland. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since January 2019, he has put 198 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.32 in January 2019 to 2.71, an 18% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
