Aras Şanlıtürk
Skewb · top 1.4% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024SANL01
Aras Şanlıtürk has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.99, set at Ankara Gloria Weekend 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Turkey. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since March 2024, he has put 552 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.86 in March 2024 to 1.94, a 67% improvement. Aras has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
