George Handley

Skewb · top 4.4% of 73,281 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023HAND12

George Handley has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.88, set at Australian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 138th in Australia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 31 competitions since September 2023, he has put 781 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 43.11 in September 2023 to 18.49, a 57% improvement. George has entered 31 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
