Jorge Manuel Lira Ibarra
3×3 blindfolded · top 4.7% of 12,178 all-time · competing since June 2016 · 2016IBAR05
Jorge Manuel Lira Ibarra has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 32.10, set at Puebla Be Quiet 2018, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in Mexico. Until April 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since June 2016, he has put 234 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.03 in June 2016 to 11.36, a 13% improvement. Jorge has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
