Skewb · top 7.1% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2019 · 2019SCHE01
Olivia Schenk has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.40, set at PA-retzel Mania Winter 2025, puts her in the top 7.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,111th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2019, she has put 261 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 24.93 in March 2019 to 17.19, a 31% improvement. Olivia 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.
