Philip Andrew C. Hilario

3×3 · top 8.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014HILA02

Philip Andrew C. Hilario has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.49, set at Baguio City Open 2017, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 959th in the Philippines. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2014, he has put 76 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.50 in December 2014 to 10.49, a 28% improvement. Philip has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
