Mateo Chica

3×3 · top 8.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016CHIC02

Mateo Chica has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.33, set at Paraguay Nationals 2017, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 21st in Paraguay. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since September 2016, he has put 89 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.87 in September 2016 to 10.33, a 20% improvement. Mateo has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
