Skewb · top 4.0% of 73,281 all-time · competing since September 2021 · 2021MOQB01
Albaraa Moqbel has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.80, set at Amman Spring A 2026, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Jordan. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2021, he has put 327 official solves on the record across seven 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 14.02 in September 2021 to 9.26, a 34% improvement. Albaraa has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
