Hugo Carter has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 5.22, set at Welcome Back Wellington 2020, puts him in the top 14.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 207th in New Zealand. Across 5 competitions since June 2019, he has put 105 official solves on the record across eight 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.
