Jason Bowes
Pyraminx · top 46.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since September 2019 · 2019BOWE05
Jason Bowes has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 9.13, set at Runaway Bay Saturday Challenge 2022, puts him in the top 46.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,608th in Australia. Across 10 competitions since September 2019, he has put 119 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 26% around a typical one; 99% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 48.87 in September 2019 to 23.39, a 52% improvement. Jason has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
