Pyraminx · top 3.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022STAN12

Nora Standage has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.00, set at BeCubed Summer 2022, puts her in the top 3.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 964th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2022, she has put 54 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. Nora has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
