Takara Klemm has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.05, set at Muri Twist Till It Works 2026, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in Switzerland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2025, he has put 204 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.48 in October 2025 to 12.28, a 21% improvement. Takara has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
