Oliver Mæle Keiseraas has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.90, set at Norwegian Championship 2026, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Norway. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since November 2022, he has put 347 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.22 in February 2023 to 2.17, a 58% improvement. Oliver has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
