Gabriel Pereira Felipe has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.61, set at WCA South American Championship 2026, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Brazil. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since November 2024, he has put 454 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.32 in November 2024 to 7.45, a 20% improvement. Gabriel has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
