Fran León Blanco

Clock · top 6.6% of 32,048 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023BLAN05

Fran León Blanco has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.81, set at CubingVic 2025, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47th in Spain. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since March 2023, he has put 667 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.15 in March 2023 to 14.94, a 45% improvement. Fran has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
