Irwin Arruda Sales has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.13, set at DRACO 2013, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in Brazil. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since June 2012, he has put 641 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 92% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.25 in June 2012 to 9.73, a 60% improvement. Irwin has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
