Alfred Bø
Pyraminx · top 5.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2024 · 2024BOEA01
Alfred Bø has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.42, set at Wiltshire Summer 2025, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 58th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2024, he has put 211 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.82 in February 2024 to 11.49, a 47% improvement. Alfred has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
