Alejandro Arteaga Mejia
2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019MEJI04
Alejandro Arteaga Mejia has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at NxN Tlaxcala 2019, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 220th in Mexico. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2019, he has put 153 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.97 in June 2019 to 10.95, a 27% improvement. Alejandro has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
