Haruki Tsutsui (筒井遥規) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.56, set at Japan Championship 2026, puts him in the top 0.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Japan. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since February 2024, he has put 613 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
