Jose Antonio Ibarra Ovando
Pyraminx · top 6.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023OVAN01
Jose Antonio Ibarra Ovando has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.77, set at Solar Open Mini A Santa Cruz 2024, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 43rd in Bolivia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2023, he has put 91 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.69 in June 2023 to 15.36, a 62% improvement. Jose has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
