3×3 · top 1.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024PERE20
Daniel Forero has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.99, set at Cúcuta Library V2 2026, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Venezuela. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2024, he has put 175 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.87 in March 2024 to 6.99, a 21% improvement. Daniel 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.
