Muhammad Nurihsan Arief

Skewb · top 6.0% of 73,281 all-time · competing since July 2017 · 2017ARIE03

Muhammad Nurihsan Arief has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.19, set at Jakarta Open 2018, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 57th in Indonesia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2017, he has put 286 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.34 in July 2017 to 9.62, a 41% improvement. Muhammad has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
