Sean Lee has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.22, set at NZ Cubing in the Capital 2026, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 137th in New Zealand. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2021, he has put 76 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Sean has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
