Rafael Morales Yujra has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.14, set at Welcome Back UPDS 2026, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 74th in Bolivia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2024, he has put 144 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.27 in October 2024 to 9.14, a 31% improvement. Rafael has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
