Ronald Smith Huaman Cardenas

2×2 · top 2.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018CARD12

Ronald Smith Huaman Cardenas has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.61, set at Speedcuber Perú Otoño 2019, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 53rd in Peru. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since April 2018, he has put 380 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.95 in April 2018 to 8.46, a 50% improvement. Ronald has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
