3×3 · top 9.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023PEGA01
Elias Pegarido has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.55, set at UMBC Fall 2025, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,070th in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2023, he has put 53 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 94% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.43 in April 2023 to 10.55, a 57% improvement. Elias has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
