Javier Hernandez Requena has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 48.65, set at Spanish Championship 2019, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Spain. Until December 2008, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since May 2012, he has put 382 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 38.76 in May 2012 to 15.32, a 60% improvement. Javier has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
