Nathan Sheers
Pyraminx · top 3.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025SHEE01
Nathan Sheers has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.98, set at Australian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2025, he has put 155 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.34 in January 2025 to 9.41, a 24% improvement. Nathan 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.
