Kerem Durak has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.55, set at Turkish Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 49th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2022, he has put 268 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.43 in April 2022 to 9.96, a 39% improvement. Kerem has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
