JD Wills
Pyraminx · top 4.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016WILL24
JD Wills has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.28, set at Foothills Fall 2017, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 160th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2016, he has put 118 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 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 24.07 in November 2016 to 14.77, a 39% improvement. JD has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
