Jordan Barradas
Skewb · top 5.0% of 74,164 all-time · competing since January 2023 · 2023BARR01
Jordan Barradas has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.00, set at Brantford Fall 2025, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 79th in Canada. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since January 2023, he has put 272 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 7.20 in January 2023 to 3.00, a 58% improvement. Jordan 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.
