Fender Postma has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.23, set at Arnhem Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in the Netherlands. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2022, he has put 436 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
