María José Soler Arce has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.71, set at 75 por Ciento Bogotá 2023, puts her in the top 6.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 143rd in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 31 competitions since May 2022, she has put 560 official solves on the record across four events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 45.39 in May 2022 to 14.04, a 69% improvement. She has entered 31 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
