Favio Tapia has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 42.24, set at Pre Nacionales La Paz 2025, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 35,351 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Bolivia. Until August 2014, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since January 2022, he has put 525 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
