Takashi Hasegawa (長谷川嵩) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.35, set at Tribox Open Spring 2018, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 28th in Japan. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since May 2016, he has put 162 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 38.91 in May 2016 to 11.51, a 70% improvement. Takashi has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
