Jordan Obando Chacón
3×3 · top 1.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024CHAC09
Jordan Obando Chacón has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.04, set at Cubithon San José 2026, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Costa Rica. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2024, he has put 164 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.26 in November 2024 to 7.04, a 43% improvement. Jordan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
