Oliver Snell has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.19, set at Adelaide Summer 2024, puts him in the top 14.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,300th in Australia. Across 6 competitions since January 2023, he has put 72 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.35 in January 2023 to 12.19, a 34% improvement. Oliver has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
