Sándor Nágel
Pyraminx · top 1.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015NAGE02
Sándor Nágel has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Hungarian Open 2017, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Hungary. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2015, he has put 313 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 12.98 in September 2015 to 2.20, an 83% improvement. He has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
