Nico Shane Kenny has been competing for 9 months. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.41, set at GAN New Zealand Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 39.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 534th in New Zealand. Across 4 competitions since November 2025, he has put 45 official solves on the record across three events.

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.
