Charlie-George Shadbolt has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.72, set at Fontwell Open 2020, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 83rd in the United Kingdom. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2018, he has put 155 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 10.92 in February 2019 to 2.72, a 75% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
