Louis Durand has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.42, set at August Bank Holiday Competition 2018, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in Belgium. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since January 2015, he has put 337 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:07.61 in January 2015 to 10.44, an 85% improvement. Louis has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
