Oliver Burns
2×2 · top 14.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since February 2022 · 2022BURN01
Oliver Burns has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.99, set at Rubik's WCA Oceanic Championship 2024, puts him in the top 14.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,109th in Australia. Across 6 competitions since February 2022, he has put 151 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one; 99% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.82 in February 2022 to 15.52, a 42% improvement. Oliver has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
