Mathias Fernández Jiménez has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.73, set at Costa Rican Championship 2023, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Costa Rica. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2022, he has put 123 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.48 in November 2022 to 10.27, a 29% improvement. Mathias has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
