Miguel Angel Puerta Simarra

Pyraminx · top 2.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015SIMA01

Miguel Angel Puerta Simarra has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.58, set at Aventura Cúbica III 2017, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in Peru. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2015, he has put 411 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.72 in May 2015 to 11.38, a 32% improvement. Miguel has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
