3×3 · top 4.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2015 · 2015POSC01
Ole Pöschl has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.74, set at Rahn Education Leipzig 2023, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 233rd in Germany. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2015, he has put 125 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.11 in July 2015 to 8.74, a 57% improvement. Ole has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
