Seb van den Beemt has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.96, set at Zonhoven Autumn Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in the Netherlands. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since March 2017, he has put 1,141 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.99 in March 2017 to 9.11, a 49% improvement. Seb has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
