Skewb · top 7.0% of 73,281 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022HOGL02
Lucas Höglinger has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.38, set at Czech Championship 2023, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Austria. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since August 2022, he has put 439 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.93 in August 2022 to 11.95, a 50% improvement. Lucas has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
