Arnel Peros

2×2 · top 9.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014PERO03

Arnel Peros has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Urdaneta Speedcubing Open 2024, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 342nd in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2014, he has put 235 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.24 in December 2014 to 10.64, a 45% improvement. Arnel has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
