Vilho Malmberg has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.45, set at Kirkkonummen Kuutionvääntelyt 2025, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Finland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2022, he has put 65 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.48 in November 2022 to 18.39, a 14% improvement. Vilho has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
