Oleg Fomenkov has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.97, set at SPB Championship 2016, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 73rd in Russia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since April 2016, he has put 784 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.84 in July 2016 to 9.57, a 63% improvement. Oleg has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
