Alberto Capiz Hernández

3×3 · top 3.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016HERN20

Alberto Capiz Hernández has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.45, set at El Centinela Mexicali 2025, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 180th in Mexico. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2016, he has put 216 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.85 in July 2016 to 8.45, a 55% improvement. Alberto has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
