Mateus Neves dos Santos
3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022SANT32
Mateus Neves dos Santos has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.79, set at Brasília Spring 2025, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 508th in Brazil. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2022, he has put 81 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.46 in February 2024 to 10.79, a 34% improvement. Mateus has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
