Carlos Antonio Valencia

3×3 · top 8.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016VALE04

Carlos Antonio Valencia has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.17, set at Philippine Championship 2016, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 828th in the Philippines. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2016, he has put 141 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.84 in April 2016 to 10.17, a 21% improvement. Carlos has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
