Almer John S. Masiglat
3×3 · top 3.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023MASI01
Almer John S. Masiglat has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.37, set at Pangasinan Speedcubing Open 2024, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 334th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2023, he has put 68 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% 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 10.48 in August 2023 to 8.37, a 20% improvement. Almer has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
