Oliver Lehmann
3×3 · top 8.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023LEHM04
Oliver Lehmann has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.42, set at Cottbus Cubing 2025, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 451st in Germany. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2023, he has put 175 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. Oliver has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
