Gustavo Adolfo Farina Cabral
3×3 · top 5.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2017 · 2017CABR09
Gustavo Adolfo Farina Cabral has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.35, set at Santo Domingo Winter 2020, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in the Dominican Republic. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2017, he has put 191 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.42 in July 2017 to 9.35, a 62% improvement. Gustavo has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
