Manu Dutheil has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at GAN CubingVic 2026, puts him in the top 1% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 28th in France. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 59 competitions since July 2018, he has put 3,888 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 46.92 in July 2018 to 7.55, an 84% improvement. Manu has entered 59 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
