Pyraminx · top 3.7% of 130,891 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 3.01, set at Dublin Autumn Solving 2026, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2025, he has put 159 official solves on the record across seven 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 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 9.00 in April 2025 to 3.01, a 67% improvement. Luke has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
