Kian Jafarian has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.08, set at Thornhill Spring 2024, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in Canada. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2023, he has put 66 official solves on the record across six events.

Kian has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
