Luis Felipe Cortes Martínez

Pyraminx · top 9.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2014 · 2014MART10

Luis Felipe Cortes Martínez has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.35, set at Izcube 2019, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 241st in Mexico. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since March 2014, he has put 302 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.21 in March 2014 to 11.06, a 56% improvement. Luis has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
