Trian Borstad

Pyraminx · top 5.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016BORS02

Trian Borstad has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.40, set at Mother Earth's Charter Spring 2024, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 183rd in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since January 2016, he has put 719 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 51.36 in January 2016 to 9.32, an 82% improvement. Trian has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
