Magne Njå has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.94, set at Bergen Open 2020, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in Norway. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 50 competitions since March 2015, he has put 2,983 official solves on the record across 15 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.90 in March 2015 to 8.88, a 47% improvement. Magne has entered 50 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
