Luke Ryan
Pyraminx · top 5.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025RYAN02
Luke Ryan has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.42, set at Rubik's Irish Championship 2026, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 77th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2025, he has put 111 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 9.00 in April 2025 to 3.42, a 62% improvement. Luke has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
