Oscar Liang has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.52, set at Maitland Spring 2024, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 105th in Australia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 58 competitions since December 2020, he has put 1,905 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.29 in December 2020 to 10.17, a 23% improvement. Oscar has entered 58 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
