Pyraminx · top 1.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019ALVA13
Jhon Sebastián Mejía Alvarez has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.40, set at San Martín Cubea 2020, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 40th in Colombia. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2019, he has put 312 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.91 in June 2019 to 2.11, a 69% improvement. Jhon 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.
