Theo Lyholm has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Kvissel Fall 2017, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in Denmark. Until April 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since January 2016, he has put 1,139 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.31 in January 2016 to 8.79, a 46% improvement. Theo has entered 27 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.
