Fernando José Muchuch Chavez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.41, set at Eskala 2022, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 21st in Guatemala. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since March 2017, he has put 1,259 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.93 in May 2017 to 2.14, a 46% improvement. Fernando has entered 28 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
