Jonah Vilhauer has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at St. Ansgar 2026, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 417th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since March 2025, he has put 461 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 26.86 in March 2025 to 11.85, a 56% improvement. Jonah has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
