Shayan Abedin (شايان عابدين)
Pyraminx · top 2.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2013 · 2013ABED01
Shayan Abedin (شايان عابدين) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Iran Grand Prix 2016, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in Iran. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2013, he has put 166 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.86 in August 2013 to 10.03, a 63% improvement. Shayan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
