Pyraminx · top 5.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2025 · 2025JERN01
Judson Jernigan has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.56, set at Kansas Championship 2026, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,476th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since February 2025, he has put 330 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.60 in February 2025 to 11.09, a 60% improvement. Judson has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
