Luc Gély has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.38, set at Palais'10Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.3% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in France. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since January 2024, he has put 1,365 official solves on the record across 13 events.

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.
