Oscar Sturmfels
Pyraminx · top 8.7% of 130,891 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024STUR01
Oscar Sturmfels has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.20, set at Melbourne Summer 2026, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 401st in Australia. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2024, he has put 94 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.88 in January 2024 to 14.86, a 29% improvement. Oscar has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
