Pyraminx · top 0.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023NICC01
Flavio Niccoli has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.78, set at CubbOpen Roma 2025, puts him in the top 0.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Italy. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2023, he has put 398 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.20 in September 2023 to 9.46, a 33% improvement. Flavio 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.
