Selmer Stray-Pedersen

3×3 · top 5.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018STRA01

Selmer Stray-Pedersen has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.30, set at Chill Out Trondheim 2025, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 102nd in Norway. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2018, he has put 129 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.96 in January 2018 to 9.30, a 28% improvement. Selmer has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
