Ismael Cutanda Fernández has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.60, set at Ibi Open 2018, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 395th in Spain. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since May 2016, he has put 659 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 11 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 8.14 in May 2016 to 2.60, a 68% improvement. Ismael has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
