Skewb · top 0.76% of 74,164 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024CHAP09
Ki-Joon Chapman-Ramos has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.72, set at Round Rock Mega Cube Day 2026, puts him in the top 0.76% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 127th in the United States. Until July 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2024, he has put 303 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.63 in December 2024 to 2.03, a 44% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
