3×3 · top 8.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024PADI04
Ian Ricardo Baltazar Padilla has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.29, set at Mexican Championship 2025, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 432nd in Mexico. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2024, he has put 96 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.18 in July 2024 to 10.29, a 40% improvement. Ian has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
