3×3 · top 2.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024MAGT03
Juan Alfonso Magtibay has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.82, set at Pinoy Side Events Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 220th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2024, he has put 209 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.13 in July 2024 to 7.82, a 36% improvement. Juan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
