Šimon Mareš has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.41, set at Prague Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 25th in the Czech Republic. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2022, he has put 239 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.01 in July 2022 to 2.41, a 52% improvement. He has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
