Pyraminx · top 65.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015KNAU01
Katharina Knaus has been competing for 12 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 11.69, set at European Rubik's Cube Championship 2016, puts her in the top 65.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 466th in Switzerland. Across 13 competitions since February 2015, she has put 122 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:12.35 in February 2015 to 40.88, a 43% improvement. Katharina has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
