Seth Windham has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.66, set at Slow N Steady Summer 2018, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,121st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2016, he has put 250 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.63 in September 2016 to 8.49, a 52% improvement. Seth has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
