3×3 · top 42.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2023 · 2023PATI01

Erick Patino has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 20.76, set at UCSD Unofficial Events 2023, puts him in the top 42.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24,037th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since January 2023, he has put 48 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.87 in January 2023 to 20.76, a 39% improvement. Erick has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
