William Klouda has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 6.04, set at Minnesota Championship 2024, puts him in the top 26.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,242nd in the United States. Across 7 competitions since October 2022, he has put 140 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.14 in October 2022 to 23.91, a 26% improvement. William 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.
