Joel Ricardo Palacios Lazarte has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.20, set at La Tienda Cubera Christmas 2018, puts him in the top 18.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 819th in Peru. Across 5 competitions since March 2014, he has put 46 official solves on the record across two events.

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.
