Eli Panetta has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.22, set at Geelong Winter 2026, puts him in the top 0.14% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Australia. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 41 competitions since January 2021, he has put 2,365 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.86 in January 2021 to 1.25, an 86% improvement. Eli has entered 41 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
