3×3 · top 3.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025OREL02

Basthian Arteaga Orellana has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.19, set at PUCP Cubing Festival X 2026, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 112th in Peru. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since May 2025, he has put 49 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.16 in May 2025 to 8.19, a 27% improvement. Basthian has entered two competitions.

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.
