Nadav Ulitsky

Pyraminx · top 7.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023ULIT02

Nadav Ulitsky has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.90, set at Israel Open 2024, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 93rd in Israel. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2023, he has put 254 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.37 in July 2023 to 3.00, a 31% improvement. Nadav has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. 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.
