Peter Hibl has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Crystal City Fall 2022, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 406th in the United States. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since January 2016, he has put 740 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 48.11 in January 2016 to 11.58, a 76% improvement. Peter has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
