Pyraminx · top 1.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016BAIG01
Kayan Baig has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Oakville Autumn Limited 2018, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 52nd in Canada. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2016, he has put 330 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 13.59 in April 2016 to 1.66, an 88% improvement. Kayan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
