2×2 · top 7.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015VILL01

César Pagán Villafañe has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.29, set at Murcia 10th Anniversary 2017, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 272nd in Spain. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2015, he has put 275 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.44 in March 2015 to 2.29, a 58% improvement. He 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.
