Skewb · top 3.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016PILL04
Sarvesh Pillay has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.58, set at USM Penang Cube 2018, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in Malaysia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2016, he has put 292 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.76 in December 2016 to 9.50, a 56% improvement. Sarvesh has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
