Julián Santiago Martínez Peñuela
3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2023 · 2023PENU01
Julián Santiago Martínez Peñuela has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.37, set at Bima al Cubo II Bogotá 2025, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 334th in Colombia. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2023, he has put 75 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.44 in December 2023 to 10.37, a 44% improvement. He 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.
