Aluel Paolo H. Gonzaga has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.19, set at Summertime Speedcubin' in Negros 2026, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2023, he has put 195 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.51 in October 2023 to 14.53, a 45% improvement. Aluel has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
