Pyraminx · top 3.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018TAKH02

Shakhzod Takhirov has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.83, set at Uzbekistan All Events 2019, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in Uzbekistan. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2018, he has put 287 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.48 in August 2018 to 8.87, a 49% improvement. Shakhzod has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
