Diego Paulo de Sousa
Clock · top 9.3% of 32,817 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025SOUS01
Diego Paulo de Sousa has been competing for a year. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.56, set at Curitiba Contra o Tempo 2026, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 32,817 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Brazil. Until June 2010, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since January 2025, he has put 291 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His Clock best has come down from 24.26 in January 2025 to 6.56, a 73% improvement. Diego has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
