Mateus Lima has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at Berkeley Fall 2019, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 460th in Brazil. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2015, he has put 60 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.30 in February 2015 to 10.44, a 49% improvement. Mateus 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.
