Vincent Giza
Pyraminx · top 4.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016GIZA01
Vincent Giza has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.30, set at A Bruin Cube Day 2018, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,221st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2016, he has put 217 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.19 in May 2016 to 10.20, a 60% improvement. Vincent has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
