John Brandon Quiñones Espinal

2×2 · top 3.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016ESPI10

John Brandon Quiñones Espinal has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.68, set at Activa Club Rubik 2017, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 61st in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2016, he has put 234 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.74 in August 2016 to 11.14, a 46% improvement. John has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
