Jacob Eoin Gipp
Pyraminx · top 1.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2016 · 2016GIPP01
Jacob Eoin Gipp has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.37, set at Battle of Waterloo 2019, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 71st in Canada. Until April 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since June 2016, he has put 405 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.88 in June 2016 to 2.69, a 45% improvement. Jacob has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
