3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2016 · 2016HUER01
Alberto Cano Huerta has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.63, set at Albacete Cubea y Vete 2025, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 265th in Spain. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2016, he has put 231 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.55 in February 2016 to 9.63, a 29% improvement. Alberto 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.
