Leandro Baltazar has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.12, set at German Open 2013, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in Portugal. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since October 2009, he has put 1,360 official solves on the record across 15 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.
