Pyraminx · top 12.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016VARG12
Joaquín Vargas has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.94, set at LP Cube Battle 2018, puts him in the top 12.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 97th in Bolivia. Across 6 competitions since November 2016, he has put 98 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.44 in November 2016 to 15.92, a 54% improvement. He 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.
