Pyraminx · top 0.18% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023BOLO02

Khaliun Bolortuya has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.25, set at Dornogovi Toya Cup 2026, puts him in the top 0.18% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Mongolia. Until January 2018, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since September 2023, he has put 550 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.74 in September 2023 to 1.25, an 84% improvement. Khaliun has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
