Hermes Rafael Puerta Pernalete has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.25, set at Cubing in Unicentro Maracay 2024, puts him in the top 29.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 124th in Venezuela. Across 3 competitions since November 2023, he has put 53 official solves on the record across three events.

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.
