Skewb · top 9.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024BARO09
Amēlija Barone has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.80, set at Kārķi Open 2026, puts her in the top 9.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Latvia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2024, she has put 95 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 27% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Her Skewb best has come down from 9.24 in March 2025 to 3.80, a 59% improvement. She 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.
