Lucas Maillard has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.00, set at Belgian Solstice 2019, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in France. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since April 2016, he has put 875 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 11.78 in April 2016 to 2.00, an 83% improvement. Lucas has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
