Vegard Hovdenakk Nilsen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.71, set at Norwegian Championship 2023, puts him in the top 11.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 128th in Norway. Across 11 competitions since June 2022, he has put 278 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.38 in June 2022 to 2.89, a 55% improvement. Vegard has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
