Jorge Begazo Orihuela

2×2 · top 4.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017ORIH01

Jorge Begazo Orihuela has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.94, set at Cubopía Open 2020, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 111th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2017, he has put 117 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.06 in January 2017 to 10.82, a 46% improvement. Jorge has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
