2×2 · top 2.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2014 · 2014MORA10

Diego Moraes has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.47, set at Wirewood Open 2016, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Uruguay. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since October 2014, he has put 748 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.96 in October 2014 to 10.17, a 70% improvement. Diego has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
