Carlos Leonardo Mejía Peña has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.44, set at SilencESFM 2025, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 184th in Mexico. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2023, he has put 82 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.65 in June 2023 to 8.44, a 28% improvement. Carlos has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
