Mario Rodrigo Luján has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.82, set at Villanueva Open 2017, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in Spain. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2016, he has put 275 official solves on the record across six events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 4.70 in October 2016 to 1.82, a 61% improvement. Mario has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
