Chelsea Watts

Pyraminx · top 3.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2021 · 2021WATT01

Chelsea Watts has been competing for 6 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.97, set at Adelaide Summer 2025, puts her in the top 3.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 164th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since January 2021, she has put 788 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 29.99 in January 2021 to 9.39, a 69% improvement. Chelsea has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
