Mark Stolyarov has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.75, set at CFCTC Open 2018, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 129th in Russia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since November 2016, he has put 348 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 43.17 in November 2016 to 19.43, a 55% improvement. Mark has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
