Lila Ernst

Pyraminx · top 8.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022ERNS01

Lila Ernst has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.16, set at Pai Open VCP 2025, puts her in the top 8.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 76th in Argentina. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2022, she has put 282 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 31.01 in October 2022 to 12.51, a 60% improvement. Lila has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
