Pyraminx · top 3.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2018 · 2018PARS04
Semen Parshukov (Семен Паршуков) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.09, set at Usinsk Polar Cube 2019, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 89th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2018, he has put 185 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.46 in November 2018 to 10.88, a 13% improvement. Semen has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
