Pyraminx · top 8.8% of 130,891 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022MCMI01
Mikaere Mcmillan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.23, set at Sydney Summer 2023, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in New Zealand. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2022, he has put 91 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 22% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 49.87 in June 2022 to 14.24, a 71% improvement. Mikaere has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
