Lexer Ortega

3×3 · top 8.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016ORTE03

Lexer Ortega has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.22, set at Cavite Speedcubing Open V 2023, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 849th in the Philippines. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2016, he has put 145 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 51.68 in July 2016 to 10.22, an 80% improvement. Lexer has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
