Eli Jacobsson

Skewb · top 13.9% of 73,281 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019JACO06

Eli Jacobsson has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 4.42, set at Melbourne Summer 2021, puts him in the top 13.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 359th in Australia. Across 5 competitions since May 2019, he has put 163 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.11 in May 2019 to 3.40, a 33% improvement. Eli has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
