Skewb · top 9.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023VASS06
Boyan Kirilov Vassev has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.80, set at Sofia Spring 2024, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Bulgaria. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2023, he has put 192 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.39 in August 2023 to 3.04, a 31% improvement. Boyan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
