Pavel Chayka (Павел Чайка) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 12.89, set at Voronezh Open 2019, puts him in the top 72.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,741st in Russia. Across 9 competitions since June 2018, he has put 101 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 22% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs.

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.
