Skewb · top 0.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018GAME03
Patrick Game has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.30, set at WCA World Championship 2019, puts him in the top 0.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Australia. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2018, he has put 310 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.01 in October 2018 to 9.16, a 35% improvement. Patrick has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
