Walt Deyzel
Pyraminx · top 6.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019DEYZ01
Walt Deyzel has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.64, set at Dutch Autumn 2022, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 40th in South Africa. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2019, he has put 135 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.97 in January 2019 to 11.56, a 23% improvement. Walt has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
