Schwyn Ratanakarn
Pyraminx · top 3.8% of 130,891 all-time · competing since March 2019 · 2019RATA01
Schwyn Ratanakarn has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.04, set at Florida Winter Break 2019, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,019th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2019, he has put 180 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.24 in March 2019 to 9.95, a 45% improvement. Schwyn has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
