Skewb · top 5.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016ODOH01
Colin O'Doherty has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.04, set at TJHSST Fall 2019, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 795th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since January 2016, he has put 145 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 47.67 in January 2016 to 14.67, a 69% improvement. Colin has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
