Sesi Cadmus

3×3 blindfolded · top 4.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since February 2009 · 2009CADM01

Sesi Cadmus has been competing for 18 years. Her best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 31.10, set at Virginia Open Spring 2016, puts her in the top 4.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in the United States. Until April 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since February 2009, she has put 347 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 16.11 in February 2009 to 9.93, a 38% improvement. Sesi has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
