Carlos Jose Trigueros Rivas

Megaminx · top 6.7% of 34,786 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015RIVA05

Carlos Jose Trigueros Rivas has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 53.43, set at Desafío Cubo CRAI UCA 2024, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in El Salvador. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2015, he has put 229 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.66 in December 2015 to 11.32, a 39% improvement. Carlos has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
