Skewb · top 0.9% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016SHEN22
Yap Di Sheng has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.79, set at Malaysia Cube Championship 2019, puts him in the top 0.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Malaysia. Until July 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since December 2016, he has put 514 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Skewb best has come down from 5.36 in August 2017 to 1.79, a 67% improvement. Yap has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
