PJ Perez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.36, set at Keep Portland Weird 2017, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,064th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2016, he has put 125 official solves on the record across four events.

PJ has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
