Ash Black

Skewb · top 0.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017BLAC06

Ash Black has been competing for 9 years. Their best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.30, set at Oregon Championship 2025, puts them in the top 0.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in the United States. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 103 competitions since June 2017, they have put 4,924 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Their 3×3 best has come down from 38.12 in June 2017 to 5.85, an 85% improvement. Ash has entered 103 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
