Pyraminx · top 3.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017BAYH01
Utku Bayhan has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.95, set at Bursa Winter 2019, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 25th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2017, he has put 294 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.01 in January 2017 to 2.50, a 17% improvement. Utku has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
