Pyraminx · top 2.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017IATR01
Loucas Iatrou has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.53, set at Larnaca Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Cyprus. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2017, he has put 146 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.08 in September 2017 to 12.73, a 56% improvement. Loucas has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
