Daniel Josué Sandí Alvarado
3×3 · top 0.86% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2019 · 2019ALVA06
Daniel Josué Sandí Alvarado has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.51, set at Cubing Revival Terramall SD 2024, puts him in the top 0.86% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Costa Rica. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2019, he has put 313 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.31 in April 2019 to 6.51, a 30% improvement. Daniel 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.
