Ren Randolph Olarte

3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014OLAR03

Ren Randolph Olarte has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.60, set at TJHSST Fall 2016, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 639th in the Philippines. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since December 2014, he has put 217 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.71 in December 2014 to 9.60, a 56% improvement. Ren has entered 15 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.
