Juan Manuel Serna Marín has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.44, set at Nacionales Medellín Explora 2019, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 89th in Colombia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2014, he has put 205 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.41 in October 2014 to 15.01, a 39% 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.
