Tucker Wathen has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.89, set at Martinsville Mini Sides 2026, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 695th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2025, he has put 188 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 13.70 in August 2025 to 2.89, a 79% improvement. Tucker 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.
