Alfonso Morales-Leon
Pyraminx · top 7.3% of 130,891 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017LEON08
Alfonso Morales-Leon has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.92, set at A Bruin Cube Day 2018, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,905th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2017, he has put 46 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.44 in February 2017 to 13.58, a 51% improvement. Alfonso 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.
