Javier Ernesto Avila Argueta
2×2 · top 7.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024ARGU03
Javier Ernesto Avila Argueta has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.37, set at Cubeando en El Cubo Z 2026, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in El Salvador. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2024, he has put 96 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.46 in November 2024 to 13.23, a 48% improvement. Javier 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.
