Ioannis Fanourakis
Pyraminx · top 8.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025FANO01
Ioannis Fanourakis has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.05, set at Halkida Spring Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 51st in Greece. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2025, he has put 155 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.67 in October 2025 to 11.25, a 23% improvement. Ioannis 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.
