Helmuth William Figueroa Guitz
Pyraminx · top 7.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2014 · 2014GUIT01
Helmuth William Figueroa Guitz has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.05, set at Guatemala Cube Challenge 2015, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in Guatemala. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2014, he has put 435 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 9.21 in March 2014 to 2.61, a 72% improvement. Helmuth has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
