Tommi Aalto
Skewb · top 6.7% of 73,281 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017AALT01
Tommi Aalto has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.32, set at Pikkujoulut 2018, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 52nd in Finland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since January 2017, he has put 366 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 5.69 in January 2017 to 3.32, a 42% improvement. Tommi has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
