Kyle Sun
Pyraminx · top 7.3% of 130,891 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022SUNK02
Kyle Sun has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.92, set at Crystal City Fall 2022, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,905th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2022, he has put 87 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.92 in July 2022 to 20.71, a 44% improvement. Kyle has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
