Gabriel Brasil Lima has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.12, set at Natal Open 2017, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 93rd in Brazil. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2015, he has put 168 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 39.94 in November 2015 to 13.47, a 66% improvement. Gabriel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
