Gustavo Ruas Sarmento de Almeida
2×2 · top 3.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017ALME07
Gustavo Ruas Sarmento de Almeida has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.76, set at Brasília Open 2018, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Brazil. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2017, he has put 178 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.30 in December 2017 to 1.76, a 47% improvement. Gustavo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
