Pyraminx · top 5.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023HALL12
Máximo Hallak has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.39, set at Pai Open VCP 2025, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 44th in Argentina. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2023, he has put 380 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 6.81 in April 2023 to 3.39, a 50% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
