Pyraminx · top 8.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2014 · 2014LOOJ01
Justin Loo has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.20, set at UBC Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 312th in Canada. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2014, he has put 130 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.52 in March 2014 to 12.41, a 29% improvement. Justin 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.
