Pyraminx · top 8.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023BYIK01
Joanna Byik has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at Irish Championship 2023, puts her in the top 8.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 112th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since March 2023, she has put 623 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 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. Her 3×3 best has come down from 28.19 in March 2023 to 14.65, a 48% improvement. Joanna has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
