Skewb · top 6.3% of 73,281 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015KWON01
Yong Min Kwon has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.24, set at Jeonju Spring 2016, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 65th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2015, he has put 141 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.88 in May 2015 to 12.98, a 41% improvement. Yong 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.
