Itai Nachmani Tal has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.77, set at Arnold Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2017, he has put 87 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.49 in March 2017 to 13.03, a 36% improvement. Itai has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
