3×3 · top 3.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2018 · 2018VARA04
Maximiliano Varas has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.28, set at Macul Otoño 2026, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 62nd in Chile. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2018, he has put 75 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.06 in November 2018 to 8.28, a 67% 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.
