Josh Gereg has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.31, set at West Melbourne Open 2026, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 213th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2025, he has put 310 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.10 in August 2025 to 9.31, a 34% improvement. Josh has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
