Emiliano Aguirre Pimienta

3×3 · top 3.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016PIMI01

Emiliano Aguirre Pimienta has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.50, set at Metropolitano 2017, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 195th in Mexico. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2016, he has put 133 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.37 in January 2016 to 8.50, an 18% improvement. Emiliano has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
