Skewb · top 0.51% of 73,281 all-time · competing since February 2024 · 2024BORU01
Ron Borutsky has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.55, set at Israel Championship 2026, puts him in the top 0.51% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Israel. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since February 2024, he has put 652 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.86 in February 2024 to 8.28, a 30% improvement. Ron has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
