Pavel Yefimenka has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.98, set at Belarus Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Belarus. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2018, he has put 284 official solves on the record across ten events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.65 in July 2018 to 3.98, a 54% improvement. Pavel has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
