3×3 · top 5.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2016 · 2016CUES01
Pablo Cuesta Sierra has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.05, set at WCA European Championship 2018, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 199th in Spain. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2016, he has put 216 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.89 in February 2016 to 2.04, a 29% improvement. Pablo has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
