Radu Mihai Stan has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.48, set at Slovak Championship 2025, puts him in the top 0.39% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Romania. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 62 competitions since April 2023, he has put 2,849 official solves on the record across 15 events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
