Pyraminx · top 7.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016LAMP01
Thomas Lampe has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.00, set at Dutch Nationals 2022, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 125th in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since October 2016, he has put 462 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.34 in October 2016 to 10.70, a 58% improvement. Thomas has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
