Jose Maria Escobar Fernandez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at First Cubing 2018, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Paraguay. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2017, he has put 106 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.28 in April 2017 to 9.53, a 22% improvement. Jose has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
