Ksenia Lukyanova

Pyraminx · top 9.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017LUKY01

Ksenia Lukyanova has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.43, set at Ural Open 2018, puts her in the top 9.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 274th in Russia. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2017, she has put 173 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 20.44 in May 2017 to 12.93, a 37% improvement. Ksenia has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
