Paul García Galeana

2×2 · top 20.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016GALE06

Paul García Galeana has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.50, set at Baja Spring 2023, puts him in the top 20.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 759th in Mexico. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, he has put 81 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.93 in October 2016 to 14.34, a 35% improvement. Paul has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
