Benjamin Cabrera
2×2 · top 9.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023CABR09
Benjamin Cabrera has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.52, set at Starting Viña 2025, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 97th in Chile. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2023, he has put 164 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.76 in July 2023 to 2.52, a 33% improvement. Benjamin has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
