Carlos Daniel Pérez Alzate has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at Cartagena Open 2025, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 362nd in Colombia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2025, he has put 129 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.69 in February 2025 to 10.50, a 29% improvement. Carlos 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.
