Wouter Hoogland
Pyraminx · top 9.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018HOOG01
Wouter Hoogland has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.28, set at Happy New Year Cubing Hoorn 2020, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 149th in the Netherlands. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2018, he has put 114 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 9.77 in January 2018 to 4.28, a 56% improvement. Wouter has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
