Pablo de Andrade Paixão has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.73, set at MS ao Cubo 2025, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in Brazil. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2015, he has put 316 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 4.08 in July 2015 to 2.03, a 50% improvement. Pablo has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
