Thomas Tanner
Pyraminx · top 3.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024TANN03
Thomas Tanner has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.80, set at Darlington Spring 2026, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 115th in the United Kingdom. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2024, he has put 150 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.90 in June 2024 to 2.65, a 55% improvement. Thomas has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
