Einar Karlberg
Skewb · top 8.0% of 74,164 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017KARL02
Einar Karlberg has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.54, set at Nordic Championship 2018, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 129th in Sweden. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2017, he has put 269 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 8.10 in May 2018 to 3.54, a 56% improvement. Einar has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
