Pyraminx · top 14.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2013 · 2013ALAR01
Carlos Ortiz Alarcón has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 5.28, set at Palacio del Cubo 2013, puts him in the top 14.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 235th in Peru. Across 5 competitions since April 2013, he has put 97 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.69 in April 2013 to 14.84, a 21% 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.
