Pyraminx · top 4.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017OTOO01
Tom O'Toole has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.21, set at Oakville Limited Spring 2018, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 150th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since May 2017, he has put 295 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.49 in May 2017 to 2.67, a 23% improvement. Tom has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
