Christian Daniel Avila Mendez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.16, set at Viña Cubing Fest IV SC 2024, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since August 2023, he has put 412 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 22.65 in August 2023 to 10.16, a 55% improvement. Christian has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
