Ricardo Jesús Gambini Abril has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.61, set at San Jose Cubing 2018, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 98th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since June 2017, he has put 553 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.92 in June 2017 to 14.10, a 29% improvement. Ricardo has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
