Kailani Luu has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.63, set at Foothills Fright 2018, puts her in the top 3.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 54th in Canada. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2016, she has put 231 official solves on the record across eight events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 15.34 in November 2016 to 8.58, a 44% improvement. Kailani has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
