Pierce Evans
Pyraminx · top 3.2% of 130,891 all-time · competing since July 2017 · 2017EVAN06
Pierce Evans has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.87, set at Liberty Science Center Open 2017, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 867th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2017, he has put 168 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 94% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.14 in July 2017 to 11.77, a 53% improvement. Pierce 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.
