Liam Gehrsitz has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.97, set at Frankfurt Cube Days 2017, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 177th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2016, he has put 419 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.03 in January 2016 to 10.84, a 55% improvement. Liam has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
