Péricles Oliveira Silva
Pyraminx · top 4.2% of 130,891 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022SILV16
Péricles Oliveira Silva has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.16, set at Back to the Cube Ceilândia 2025, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 102nd in Brazil. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since May 2022, he has put 346 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.93 in May 2022 to 2.51, a 68% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
