Mathias Medina Vivanco

3×3 · top 9.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016VIVA01

Mathias Medina Vivanco has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.64, set at PUCP Cubing Festival I 2024, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 404th in Peru. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2016, he has put 228 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.09 in April 2016 to 10.64, a 63% improvement. Mathias has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
