Samuel Alzate Muñoz has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.20, set at Velitas Antioquia 2024, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 27th in Colombia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since December 2022, he has put 815 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.90 in December 2022 to 7.82, a 59% improvement. Samuel has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
