Skewb · top 8.9% of 73,281 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023MILL69
Jaycob Mills has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.70, set at Arizona Favorites 2024, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,375th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2023, he has put 176 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.97 in November 2023 to 11.36, a 40% improvement. Jaycob has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
