Japhine Laurice E. Bigalbal has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 4.24, set at A Twisty Day in Araneta 2024, puts her in the top 12.6% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 185th in the Philippines. Across 16 competitions since October 2023, she has put 251 official solves on the record across seven events.

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.
