Owen de Heer has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.69, set at World Rubik's Cube Championship 2017, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in the Netherlands. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since October 2015, he has put 114 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 27.37 in October 2015 to 12.69, a 54% improvement. Owen has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
