Furkan Efe Yılmaz
Skewb · top 7.9% of 73,281 all-time · competing since August 2024 · 2024YILM10
Furkan Efe Yılmaz has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.53, set at Ankara Gloria Weekend 2025, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in Turkey. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2024, he has put 179 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.87 in August 2024 to 11.65, a 58% improvement. Furkan 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.
