Luke Perkins has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.98, set at KCKC 6 Cubing for Cake 2024, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,929th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2023, he has put 192 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.33 in October 2023 to 14.36, a 36% improvement. Luke has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
