Vicente Astroza
Pyraminx · top 2.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017ASTR01
Vicente Astroza has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.67, set at La Serena Open 2018, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Chile. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 33 competitions since January 2017, he has put 1,148 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 18 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.39 in January 2017 to 8.65, a 55% improvement. Vicente has entered 33 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
