Pyraminx · top 26.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2023 · 2023OLIV04

Franklin Oliver has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 6.81, set at South Australian Open 2023, puts him in the top 26.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,341st in Australia. Across 8 competitions since January 2023, he has put 101 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 47.93 in January 2023 to 32.47, a 32% improvement. Franklin has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
