Mathias Kristoffer Munch Paulsen
Pyraminx · top 9.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022PAUL03
Mathias Kristoffer Munch Paulsen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.32, set at Kjeller Open 2022, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 89th in Denmark. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2022, he has put 125 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 12.11 in May 2022 to 4.32, a 64% improvement. Mathias 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.
