Israel Fraga da Silva has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 17.08, set at Campeonato Mineiro 2026, puts him in the top 0.63% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Brazil. Until December 2018, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 51 competitions since October 2012, he has put 1,816 official solves on the record across 17 events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
