Skewb · top 1.7% of 74,164 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025FELI04
Héctor Francisco Picos Félix has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.12, set at MalecOpen Mazatlán 2025, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in Mexico. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2025, he has put 172 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.50 in October 2025 to 9.41, a 10% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
