Luis Alfredo Castro Marquez
Pyraminx · top 7.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023MARQ17
Luis Alfredo Castro Marquez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.04, set at Chapacos Cuberos 2025, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 54th in Bolivia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2023, he has put 72 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 13.20 in August 2023 to 4.04, a 69% improvement. Luis has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
