Emanuel Arrunategui

2×2 · top 4.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014ARRU01

Emanuel Arrunategui has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at Torneo Cali 2014, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2014, he has put 178 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.58 in February 2014 to 10.48, a 40% improvement. Emanuel has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
