Skewb · top 2.1% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022YALD01
Nisan Yalduz has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at İstanbul April 2026, puts her in the top 2.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Turkey. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since December 2022, she has put 475 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 2×2 best has come down from 4.16 in December 2022 to 1.53, a 63% improvement. Nisan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
