Luca Sitas has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.98, set at GAN WCA African Championship 2026, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in South Africa. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2024, he has put 329 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.85 in September 2024 to 18.18, a 35% improvement. Luca 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.
