Jace An has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.86, set at Poway Summer Cubing 2023, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,524th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2022, he has put 164 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.37 in May 2022 to 11.27, a 31% improvement. Jace has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
