Nadav Ayalon
Skewb · top 5.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022AYAL01
Nadav Ayalon has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.13, set at Israel Championship 2024, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in Israel. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since August 2022, he has put 351 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.07 in August 2022 to 9.64, a 56% improvement. Nadav has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
