Rogelio Figueroa

3×3 · top 6.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2012 · 2012FIGU01

Rogelio Figueroa has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.54, set at Phoenix Cubing Open 2023, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,426th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2012, he has put 229 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.33 in December 2012 to 9.54, a 51% improvement. Rogelio has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
