Timo Steiner has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.87, set at Swisscubing Cup IV 2022, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 64th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2018, he has put 194 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.69 in November 2018 to 11.27, a 54% improvement. Timo 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.
