Samir Saldivia Martinez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.42, set at Montevideo Palace 2019, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Uruguay. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2017, he has put 232 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 22.20 in March 2017 to 11.09, a 50% improvement. Samir has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
