Pyraminx · top 2.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018SMIT38

Luke Smith has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.65, set at NSW State Championship 2025, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 126th in Australia. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since October 2018, he has put 765 official solves on the record across seven events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 26.67 in October 2018 to 2.65, a 90% improvement. Luke has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
