Lemuel Generoso

3×3 · top 1.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015GENE01

Lemuel Generoso has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.20, set at Makati Heroes Speedcubing 2026, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 138th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since April 2015, he has put 785 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.27 in April 2015 to 7.20, a 50% improvement. Lemuel has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
