Hector Cross
Pyraminx · top 2.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022CROS06
Hector Cross has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.77, set at Rubik's UK Championship 2023, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 111th in the United Kingdom. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2022, he has put 178 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.41 in October 2022 to 2.24, a 49% improvement. Hector 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.
