Skewb · top 2.7% of 74,164 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023JORD08
Virgil Jon Jordan has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.45, set at Ardmore Autumn 2026, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 414th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2023, he has put 257 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 36,406 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 28.30 in November 2023 to 9.51, a 66% improvement. Virgil has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
