Benjamín Ezequiel Cerda Quilaman has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.00, set at Cerrillos al Cubo 2022, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Chile. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2021, he has put 117 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.48 in October 2021 to 13.28, a 19% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
