Robert Tillman has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.75, set at Rubik's Dutch Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 105th in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2023, he has put 255 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.29 in December 2023 to 13.89, a 45% improvement. Robert has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
