Peter Nielsen

4×4 · top 0.6% of 83,917 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016NIEL01

Peter Nielsen has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 24.57, set at Østervang Open 2022, puts him in the top 0.6% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Denmark. Until April 2014, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2016, he has put 317 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.63 in January 2016 to 7.01, a 34% improvement. Peter has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
