Luis Henrique Araujo Alves

3×3 · top 10.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015ALVE03

Luis Henrique Araujo Alves has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.93, set at Arena Curuçá Open 2018, puts him in the top 10.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 528th in Brazil. Across 11 competitions since April 2015, he has put 95 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.51 in April 2015 to 10.93, a 60% improvement. Luis 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.
