Alvaro Quintanilla Mallqui has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.83, set at Peru Nationals 2018, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 78th in Peru. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2017, he has put 147 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.11 in March 2017 to 11.23, a 30% improvement. Alvaro 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.
