Rodrigo Saúl Mendieta Villegas has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.45, set at Next Gen Cube Potosí 2026, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 107th in Bolivia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since June 2023, he has put 156 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 28.57 in June 2023 to 11.94, a 58% improvement. Rodrigo has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
