Oscar Baldacchino
2×2 · top 7.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022BALD02
Oscar Baldacchino has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.31, set at Wonderful Williamstown 2022, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 539th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2022, he has put 122 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Oscar has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
