Ephraim Charles Juarez

2×2 · top 2.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016JUAR07

Ephraim Charles Juarez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.62, set at Negros Speedcubing Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 70th in the Philippines. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2016, he has put 233 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.63 in December 2016 to 8.60, a 41% improvement. Ephraim has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
