Skewb · top 1.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022LIND08
Theo Lindén has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.93, set at Björneborg Weekend 2023, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 21st in Sweden. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2022, he has put 301 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 42.32 in July 2022 to 15.52, a 63% improvement. Theo has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
