Mira Engel

Pyraminx · top 7.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2017 · 2017ENGE02

Mira Engel has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.98, set at Cube Weekend Sint Michielsgestel 2019, puts her in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 123rd in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since July 2017, she has put 553 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, her 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. That figure sets aside her 7 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 15.55 in July 2017 to 3.98, a 74% improvement. Mira has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. 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.
