Jakob Obleser

Pyraminx · top 3.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2013 · 2013OBLE01

Jakob Obleser has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.80, set at French Championship 2017, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 64th in Germany. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since February 2013, he has put 1,609 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.56 in February 2013 to 8.74, a 36% improvement. Jakob has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
