Pyraminx · top 3.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2021 · 2021MARC02
Pietro Marchica has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.95, set at Bagnolo Al Cubo 2022, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 75th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2021, he has put 401 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.14 in August 2021 to 10.70, a 64% improvement. Pietro has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
