Harrie Cuijpers
Pyraminx · top 8.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016CUIJ01
Harrie Cuijpers has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.14, set at Cube Weekend Sint Michielsgestel 2019, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 138th in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2016, he has put 369 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.98 in September 2016 to 10.74, a 40% improvement. Harrie has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
