Miguel Vidal has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Metropolis Barquisimeto 2023, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in Venezuela. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 40 competitions since September 2014, he has put 1,207 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.10 in September 2014 to 15.11, a 50% improvement. Miguel has entered 40 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
