Oliver Wilson

3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2016 · 2016WILS07

Oliver Wilson has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.78, set at Newmarket Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 897th in Canada. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2016, he has put 121 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.82 in June 2016 to 2.98, a 56% improvement. Oliver has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
