Skewb · top 3.3% of 73,281 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023MARP02
Pedro del Val Martinez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.61, set at El Tormes Open 2025, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 125th in Spain. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2023, he has put 248 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.67 in July 2023 to 1.79, a 77% improvement. Pedro has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
