János Nemes
Pyraminx · top 6.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2008 · 2008NEME01
János Nemes has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.78, set at Hungarian Open 2012, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 56th in Hungary. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2008, he has put 244 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.09 in October 2008 to 14.23, a 68% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
