Skewb · top 50.8% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016MCLA01
Jordan McLaughlin has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 9.35, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2017, puts him in the top 50.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,106th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since March 2016, he has put 65 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 10.02 in March 2016 to 6.42, a 36% improvement. Jordan 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.
