Vladimir Vasiliev
Pyraminx · top 1.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018VASI04
Vladimir Vasiliev has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.95, set at Cube en Baie Open 2024, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Russia. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since May 2018, he has put 630 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.73 in May 2018 to 1.95, a 66% improvement. Vladimir has entered 17 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.
