Bryce Wiedemeier
Skewb · top 4.1% of 73,281 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015WIED01
Bryce Wiedemeier has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.81, set at Poly Cubed 2016, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 635th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2015, he has put 86 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% 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 42.79 in October 2015 to 18.18, a 58% improvement. Bryce 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.
