Gert-Jan Broere has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.01, set at Dutch Masters 2022, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since October 2018, he has put 637 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 5.59 in October 2018 to 1.88, a 66% improvement. He has entered 22 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.
