Luana Mendieta has been competing for 17 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 1:18.08, set at ABC Open 2010, puts her in the top 96.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,975th in Brazil. Across 5 competitions since July 2009, she has put 22 official solves on the record across one event.

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.
