Pyraminx · top 1.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016TANG14
Jason Tang has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at Oakville Autumn Limited 2018, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Canada. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2016, he has put 312 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.53 in August 2016 to 2.76, a 50% improvement. Jason has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
