Emmanuel González

Pyraminx · top 2.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2014 · 2014GONZ05

Emmanuel González has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.48, set at IGA Rubik 2017, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Guatemala. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2014, he has put 345 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 30.92 in March 2014 to 3.39, an 89% improvement. Emmanuel has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. 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.
