Nicolas Lizarazo has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.60, set at New Cambridge School Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 132nd in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since April 2016, he has put 660 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.79 in April 2016 to 10.54, a 33% improvement. Nicolas has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
