Pyraminx · top 7.1% of 130,891 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024MEDI13
Jerónimo Benavides Medina has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.89, set at Desafio Aves María Sabaneta 2026, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 166th in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2024, he has put 239 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.14 in December 2024 to 13.15, a 23% improvement. He 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.
