John Brix Acero
Pyraminx · top 1.5% of 130,891 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016ACER01
John Brix Acero has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.22, set at Bacolod Cubing Quest 2018, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 28th in the Philippines. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2016, he has put 190 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.48 in December 2016 to 11.94, an 18% improvement. John 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.
