Pyraminx · top 7.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023GRAS04
Samuele Grasso has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.96, set at Muggiò Spring 2025, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2023, he has put 381 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.68 in May 2023 to 12.14, a 54% improvement. Samuele 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.
