Emmanuel Arias

3×3 · top 9.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017ARIA02

Emmanuel Arias has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.81, set at Tabacundo Open 2018, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 97th in Ecuador. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2017, he has put 147 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.07 in February 2017 to 10.81, a 55% improvement. Emmanuel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
