Kostiantyn Koptiev (Костянтин Коптєв) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.60, set at Beit Dan Open 2015, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 41st in Ukraine. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since August 2014, he has put 642 official solves on the record across six events.

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.
