Skewb · top 1.5% of 73,281 all-time · competing since June 2013 · 2013ADAM02

Hugo Adams has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at WCA World Championship 2019, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 58th in Australia. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since June 2013, he has put 866 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.96 in June 2013 to 10.40, a 50% improvement. Hugo has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
