Erik Paico Robles

2×2 · top 9.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2012 · 2012ROBL01

Erik Paico Robles has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Trujillo Open 2013, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 265th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2012, he has put 257 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.58 in November 2012 to 13.91, a 29% improvement. Erik has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
