Mauricio Calvelo
3×3 · top 4.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023CALV05
Mauricio Calvelo has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.81, set at Claret Open Montevideo 2026, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Uruguay. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2023, he has put 218 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.37 in August 2023 to 8.81, a 29% improvement. Mauricio has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
