Gabriel Amaya has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.12, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 52 - Belmont 2023, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,116th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2022, he has put 221 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.52 in November 2022 to 13.38, a 48% improvement. Gabriel has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
