Pyraminx · top 4.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024DRUZ01
Nazarii Druz (Назарій Друзь) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.28, set at MriyDiy Cubing Lviv 2025, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 83rd in Ukraine. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since June 2024, he has put 488 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 13 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.99 in August 2024 to 9.84, an 18% improvement. Nazarii has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
