Leo Min-Bedford
Skewb · top 0.035% of 73,281 all-time · competing since April 2014 · 2014MINB01
Leo Min-Bedford has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 0.97, set at Selangor Cube Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.035% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Canada. Until July 2019, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 62 competitions since April 2014, he has put 2,508 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 38 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.25 in April 2014 to 6.57, a 70% improvement. Leo has entered 62 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
