Carlos Joaquín Rivera Tupac

2×2 · top 2.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017TUPA01

Carlos Joaquín Rivera Tupac has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.65, set at TCG Deluxe 2019, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2017, he has put 293 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.45 in June 2017 to 9.94, a 13% improvement. Carlos has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
