Benjamin Spradley

Skewb · top 0.023% of 73,281 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023SPRA03

Benjamin Spradley has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 0.93, set at Temple Cubing Fall 2025, puts him in the top 0.023% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in the United States. Until July 2019, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 46 competitions since June 2023, he has put 1,923 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 28 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.06 in June 2023 to 8.48, a 62% improvement. Benjamin has entered 46 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
