Alejandro Perlaza
3×3 · top 6.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022PERL02
Alejandro Perlaza has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.67, set at Bayonne Atoutcubes Open 2025, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 259th in Colombia. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2022, he has put 78 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 39.44 in December 2022 to 9.67, a 75% improvement. Alejandro 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.
