Skewb · top 9.8% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018EDWA03
Zackary T. Edwards has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.84, set at Santa Fe Spring 2018, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,507th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2018, he has put 184 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.33 in March 2018 to 2.84, a 47% improvement. Zackary 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.
