Skewb · top 9.5% of 74,164 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024LEER08
Landen Leerhoff has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.79, set at Iowa Championship 2026, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,480th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2024, he has put 254 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 73% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. Landen has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
