Nelson Casilla has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.43, set at Republica Dominicana Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in the Dominican Republic. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since March 2016, he has put 289 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.55 in March 2016 to 9.43, a 56% improvement. Nelson has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
