Lars Knittler

Pyraminx · top 5.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017KNIT01

Lars Knittler has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.47, set at Munich Open 2026, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 121st in Germany. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since September 2017, he has put 975 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.92 in September 2017 to 2.10, a 70% improvement. Lars has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
