Pavel Jelínek

Pyraminx · top 2.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2014 · 2014JELI01

Pavel Jelínek has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.44, set at Brno Open 2017, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 27th in the Czech Republic. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2014, he has put 734 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.99 in July 2014 to 9.04, a 35% improvement. Pavel has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
