Skewb · top 5.3% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018VARG04
Carlos Alberto Archila Vargas has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.06, set at Caracolí Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 66th in Colombia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2018, he has put 195 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. Carlos has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
