Tom Kotlyar

Pyraminx · top 36.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023KOTL01

Tom Kotlyar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.09, set at Mike's Cubes Israel 2026, puts him in the top 36.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 412th in Israel. Across 10 competitions since July 2023, he has put 122 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 1:24.00 in July 2023 to 15.31, an 82% improvement. Tom has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
