Ariel Alexander Galicia Gallardo has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.13, set at Guatemala Championship 2017, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in Guatemala. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2015, he has put 153 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 1:04.24 in September 2015 to 15.25, a 76% improvement. Ariel has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
