Moisés Ignacio Villena Mejía has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.85, set at Guayaco Cubing 2023, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Ecuador. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2018, he has put 116 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 6.02 in October 2018 to 3.85, a 36% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
