Róisín Brennan
Pyraminx · top 9.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023BREN08
Róisín Brennan has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.29, set at Gort-a Go Fast 2026, puts her in the top 9.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in Ireland. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since September 2023, she has put 982 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 15 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 34.56 in September 2023 to 14.31, a 59% improvement. She has entered 28 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
