Linus Afloarei Tsapelas has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.29, set at Westport Warmup 2023, puts him in the top 38.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11,050th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since April 2023, he has put 87 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 47.15 in May 2023 to 33.96, a 28% improvement. Linus 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.
