Alejandro Jonela III has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.77, set at West Visayas Championship 2019, puts him in the top 0.86% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in the Philippines. Until July 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2017, he has put 359 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.73 in June 2017 to 10.30, a 30% improvement. Alejandro has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
