3×3 · top 5.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2019 · 2019PAST02

Royce Judill D. Pastrano has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.34, set at Cebu Comeback Open 2022, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 570th in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since February 2019, he has put 224 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.13 in February 2019 to 9.34, a 54% improvement. Royce has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
