Itai Nativ

Pyraminx · top 1.4% of 130,891 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022NATI02

Itai Nativ has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.15, set at Mike's Cubes Israel 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Israel. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since December 2022, he has put 803 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.93 in December 2022 to 8.83, a 56% improvement. Itai has entered 28 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
