Benjamin Halvei-Blålid has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.63, set at Trondheim Spring 2026, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 67th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since March 2025, he has put 524 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 19.57 in March 2025 to 3.63, an 81% improvement. Benjamin has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
