Andreas Verkinderen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.00, set at Koersel Saturday Open 2023, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Belgium. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since September 2022, he has put 485 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 20.27 in September 2022 to 12.18, a 40% improvement. Andreas has entered 13 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.
