Pio Noah Arsenio

3×3 · top 9.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016ARSE01

Pio Noah Arsenio has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.68, set at Santa Cruz Speedcubing 2024, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,023rd in the Philippines. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2016, he has put 187 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.07 in September 2016 to 10.68, a 54% improvement. Pio has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
