Caden Wiss
Skewb · top 8.1% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017WISS03
Caden Wiss has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.56, set at North Star Cubing Challenge 2019, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,246th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2017, he has put 208 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 46.34 in December 2017 to 15.19, a 67% improvement. Caden has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
