Julian Octavio Villafan Carreño

2×2 · top 5.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022CARR01

Julian Octavio Villafan Carreño has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.04, set at Real Cube 2022, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 131st in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2022, he has put 158 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.81 in January 2022 to 10.15, a 43% improvement. Julian has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
