Pyraminx · top 8.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022OLEA04
Liam O'Leary has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at Appleby Summer A 2023, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 290th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2022, he has put 96 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.69 in June 2022 to 16.70, a 50% improvement. Liam has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
