Nil Gürbüz has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.86, set at Bursa Summer 2026, puts her in the top 7.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 62nd in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2021, she has put 214 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 10.85 in July 2021 to 3.86, a 64% improvement. Nil has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
