Raphael Carrozza has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.42, set at Edinburgh Winter 2025, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 384th in the United Kingdom. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2024, he has put 208 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 22.38 in October 2024 to 15.02, a 33% improvement. Raphael 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.
