Kye Carretero

Pyraminx · top 0.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019CARR03

Kye Carretero has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.78, set at NJIT Spring 2023, puts him in the top 0.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 234th in the United States. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since January 2019, he has put 778 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.78 in January 2019 to 7.88, a 27% improvement. Kye has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
