3×3 · top 1.7% of 288,433 all-time · competing since October 2024 · 2024SALV08
Maximiliano Salvador Rodriguez Cortez has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.30, set at PUCP Cubing Festival IX 2026, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 48th in Peru. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2024, he has put 85 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.98 in October 2024 to 7.30, a 34% improvement. Maximiliano has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
