Hannes Hakfelt

Skewb · top 5.7% of 73,281 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017HAKF01

Hannes Hakfelt has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.14, set at SSL 1 Åkers Styckebruk 2019, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 100th in Sweden. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2017, he has put 213 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.02 in May 2017 to 2.99, a 50% improvement. Hannes has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
