Abel Saaz

3×3 · top 6.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017SAAZ01

Abel Saaz has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.75, set at FIGHT Peru 2018, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 295th in Peru. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2017, he has put 70 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.01 in April 2017 to 9.75, a 54% improvement. Abel has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
