Jakub Chwaściak has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.70, set at Lubelska Liga Speedcubingu I Bełżyce 2021, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 188th in Poland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2019, he has put 239 official solves on the record across ten events.

His Skewb best has come down from 9.97 in October 2019 to 2.70, a 73% improvement. Jakub 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.
