Eysteinn Daði Hjaltason has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.64, set at Iceland Open 2024, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Iceland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2022, he has put 269 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.16 in December 2022 to 12.19, a 14% improvement. Eysteinn 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.
