Erik Morales López has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.62, set at Mexican Championship 2018, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 151st in Mexico. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since February 2017, he has put 368 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Skewb best has come down from 5.36 in April 2017 to 4.32, a 19% improvement. Erik has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
