Rob Holt has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.25, set at Canadian Open 2011, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 321st in Canada. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2009, he has put 246 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 26.21 in March 2009 to 12.50, a 52% improvement. Rob has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
