Kaden Ho
Skewb · top 6.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024HOKA01
Kaden Ho has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.31, set at NZ North Island Championship 2026, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in New Zealand. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since March 2024, he has put 635 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 8.28 in March 2024 to 2.32, a 72% improvement. Kaden has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
