Salomon Buitrago Hernández
3×3 · top 7.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023HERN43
Salomon Buitrago Hernández has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at Avenida Chile XV 2024, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 281st in Colombia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since July 2023, he has put 433 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 12 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.80 in July 2023 to 9.94, a 71% improvement. Salomon has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
