Square-1 · top 8.0% of 25,662 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025ESTR04
Aaron Gerardo Aranda Estrada has been competing for a year. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 10.99, set at Peru Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 25,662 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Peru. Until October 2009, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2025, he has put 51 official solves on the record across four events. His Square-1 best has come down from 21.06 in October 2025 to 10.99, a 48% improvement. Aaron has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
