Andrew Burnside has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.73, set at Algorithms in Archbold 2026, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,400th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2023, he has put 146 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.59 in June 2023 to 12.13, an 11% improvement. Andrew 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.
