Sean Thorsteinson has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.10, set at Winnipeg Fall 2026, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 142nd in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since June 2022, he has put 424 official solves on the record across 14 events.

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.
