Pyraminx · top 4.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2015 · 2015BILA01

Julian Bilan has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.14, set at FLIP Open 2023, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 115th in France. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2015, he has put 309 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.98 in July 2015 to 10.83, a 69% improvement. Julian has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
