Manuel Ferreira de Cordoue has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.94, set at Paraguay Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Paraguay. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2017, he has put 63 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.69 in April 2017 to 8.94, a 39% improvement. Manuel 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.
