Daniel Rodriguez Peinado

3×3 · top 5.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023PEIN01

Daniel Rodriguez Peinado has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.09, set at Rubik's Dutch Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 207th in Spain. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2023, he has put 163 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.04 in March 2023 to 9.09, a 59% improvement. Daniel has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
