Charlie Osborne
Skewb · top 3.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022OSBO02
Charlie Osborne has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.70, set at Irish Championship 2023, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in Ireland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2022, he has put 231 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Skewb best has come down from 8.21 in October 2022 to 2.70, a 67% improvement. Charlie has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
