José Luis Rodríguez Castillo

2×2 · top 9.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016CAST36

José Luis Rodríguez Castillo has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Campeonato Nacional Perubik 2017, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 275th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since July 2016, he has put 250 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.92 in July 2016 to 10.79, a 43% improvement. He has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
