Niño Jiekurt M. Canlas has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.85, set at Pinoy Big Cubes Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 228th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2019, he has put 196 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.09 in June 2019 to 7.85, a 35% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
