Guus de Wit has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.44, set at Zeeland Open 2016, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 58th in the Netherlands. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 36 competitions since November 2008, he has put 1,720 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 34.28 in November 2008 to 7.44, a 78% improvement. Guus has entered 36 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
