Liam Hallberg
Pyraminx · top 2.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2013 · 2013HALL02
Liam Hallberg has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Danish Open Championship 2014, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 72nd in Sweden. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since September 2013, he has put 519 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.41 in September 2013 to 2.50, a 70% improvement. Liam has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
