Luis Rodrigo Mendoza Taipe has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.19, set at CCS 2018, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 141st in Peru. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2017, he has put 213 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.26 in July 2017 to 11.25, a 38% improvement. Luis has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
