Vincent van Calcar
3×3 · top 4.4% of 288,433 all-time · competing since May 2026 · 2026CALC02
Vincent van Calcar has been competing for 5 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.78, set at Meppel Mayhem 2026, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 122nd in the Netherlands. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since May 2026, he has put 75 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Vincent has entered two 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.
