Misael Peñafiel has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Pre-Nacionales UP 2023, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Panama. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2017, he has put 138 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.49 in September 2017 to 10.94, a 29% improvement. Misael has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
