Skewb · top 0.55% of 73,281 all-time · competing since November 2021 · 2021SCHE04
Ace Schembri has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.58, set at Utah Championship 2023, puts him in the top 0.55% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 89th in the United States. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since November 2021, he has put 415 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.48 in May 2022 to 11.22, a 39% improvement. Ace has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
