Gustavo Carbajal González

4×4 · top 9.4% of 83,917 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016GONZ49

Gustavo Carbajal González has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 37.63, set at Mexican Championship 2018, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 205th in Mexico. Until October 2009, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2016, he has put 192 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 5×5 best has come down from 1:39.12 in October 2016 to 1:13.74, a 26% improvement. Gustavo has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
