Skewb · top 5.5% of 74,164 all-time · competing since May 2014 · 2014SACH01
Kshitij Sachdeva has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.09, set at Speedcubing ESYA 2017, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 134th in India. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2014, he has put 195 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 13.55 in May 2014 to 3.09, a 77% improvement. Kshitij 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.
