Marcelo Hernández has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.01, set at Peru Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in Peru. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since January 2018, he has put 559 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 41.89 in January 2018 to 10.30, a 75% improvement. Marcelo has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
