Oliver Kaplan has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.02, set at BC Championship 2026, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 275th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2024, he has put 230 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.28 in March 2024 to 10.36, a 40% improvement. Oliver has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
