Daniel Mcelfresh has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.19, set at Race the Clock Minnesota 2023, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 922nd in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2023, he has put 163 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.33 in February 2023 to 10.60, a 14% improvement. Daniel has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
