Lucas Steylen has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.62, set at Halifax Select 2018, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 207th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2017, he has put 448 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.36 in March 2017 to 12.28, a 25% improvement. Lucas has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
