Skewb · top 1.5% of 73,281 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018CHAN31
Aiden Chan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.03, set at Rockies Rager Fall 2022, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Canada. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since May 2018, he has put 558 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.36 in May 2018 to 10.17, a 64% improvement. Aiden has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
