Skewb · top 14.5% of 73,281 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016NIZA01

Arief Daniel Mohd Nizam has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 4.51, set at Malaysia Cube Championship 2019, puts him in the top 14.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 163rd in Malaysia. Across 6 competitions since April 2016, he has put 136 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.34 in April 2016 to 14.55, a 38% improvement. Arief has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
