Skewb · top 8.8% of 73,281 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022AYER01
Jack Ayers has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.67, set at Michigan 2023, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,347th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2022, he has put 180 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.46 in January 2022 to 18.43, a 39% improvement. Jack has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
