Nate Mochrie

Pyraminx · top 1.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since December 2019 · 2019MOCH02

Nate Mochrie has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at A New Year in Auckland 2021, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in New Zealand. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2019, he has put 542 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.04 in December 2019 to 7.47, a 56% improvement. Nate 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.
