João Stenzel Neto has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 3.79, set at WCA South American Championship 2026, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Brazil. Until June 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 36 competitions since December 2023, he has put 1,116 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.88 in December 2023 to 8.00, a 50% improvement. He has entered 36 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
