Daniel Santiago Ortiz Suarez

3×3 · top 4.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019SUAR03

Daniel Santiago Ortiz Suarez has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.79, set at San Martin Cubea B 2022, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in Colombia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2019, he has put 101 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.99 in June 2019 to 8.79, a 37% improvement. Daniel has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
