Mauricio Bernal

3×3 · top 6.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018BERN08

Mauricio Bernal has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.46, set at CCPA Open 2023, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in Paraguay. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since May 2018, he has put 123 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% 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 35.44 in May 2018 to 9.46, a 73% improvement. Mauricio 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.
