Cristóbal Araujo

2×2 · top 8.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016ARAU02

Cristóbal Araujo has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.41, set at Campeonato Nacional Perubik 2017, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 223rd in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2016, he has put 235 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.71 in July 2016 to 2.41, a 58% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. 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.
