Isaiah Simms has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.16, set at Great Peconic Bay Spring 2024, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,175th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2023, he has put 114 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.25 in December 2023 to 13.38, a 53% improvement. Isaiah 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.
