Diego Joel Urquia Paredes has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.76, set at Pucallpa al Cubo 2025, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 173rd in Peru. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2019, he has put 193 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.81 in December 2019 to 8.76, a 26% improvement. Diego has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
