2×2 · top 2.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023RAMI29
Julián Ramírez-Hermida has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.58, set at Puerto Rico Cubing Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 989th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2023, he has put 274 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.41 in September 2023 to 2.75, a 49% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
