3×3 · top 2.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023GARC63
Juan Garcia has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.96, set at Cubing in Beillín 2025, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 100th in Colombia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since August 2023, he has put 611 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 10 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 43.53 in August 2023 to 7.96, an 82% improvement. Juan has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
