Daniel Feng has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.96, set at NZ North Island Championship 2023, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 46th in New Zealand. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2021, he has put 107 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.97 in August 2021 to 21.55, a 35% improvement. Daniel 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.
