Rafael Muñoz Muñoz has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.66, set at Spanish Championship 2012, puts him in the top 35.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,279th in Spain. Across 14 competitions since December 2012, he has put 256 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 54.81 in December 2012 to 18.78, a 66% improvement. Rafael has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
