Ralph Justine Villarico
3×3 blindfolded · top 2.0% of 12,178 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023VILL12
Ralph Justine Villarico has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 21.96, set at Davao City Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in the Philippines. Until November 2014, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2023, he has put 277 official solves on the record across ten 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 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.61 in March 2023 to 7.72, a 27% improvement. Ralph 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.
