Samir Oliveira Ramos dos Santos has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.74, set at NC ao Cubo 2026, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 45th in Brazil. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2025, he has put 322 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.62 in September 2025 to 13.13, a 29% improvement. Samir 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.
