Skewb · top 7.8% of 73,281 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018LEVA04
Stepan Levanov (Степан Леванов) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.51, set at Perm Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Russia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2018, he has put 146 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.45 in June 2018 to 13.80, a 44% improvement. Stepan 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.
