Elias Miguel Acosta Acosta has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.34, set at La Galería Cubes 2019, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Paraguay. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 48 competitions since September 2016, he has put 1,297 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.18 in September 2016 to 16.01, a 34% improvement. Elias has entered 48 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
