Pyraminx · top 8.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016VOLD01
Viktor Volden has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.06, set at Kjeller Open 2017, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 89th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since October 2016, he has put 627 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.95 in October 2016 to 10.93, a 73% improvement. Viktor has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
