Juan Sebastian Meneses Ariza

3×3 · top 7.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017ARIZ01

Juan Sebastian Meneses Ariza has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.00, set at Caracolí Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 288th in Colombia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2017, he has put 55 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.69 in May 2017 to 10.00, a 43% improvement. Juan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
