Cristopher Gael Maca Valer
2×2 · top 4.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2025 · 2025VALE03
Cristopher Gael Maca Valer has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.87, set at PUCP Cubing Festival VIII 2025, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 99th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since February 2025, he has put 236 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.70 in February 2025 to 1.87, a 60% improvement. Cristopher has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
