Clock · top 7.4% of 32,048 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023GALL40
Rafael Fernando Vasquez Gallo has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.04, set at USFA Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Bolivia. Until July 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2023, he has put 270 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.77 in November 2023 to 12.78, a 52% improvement. Rafael has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
