Samuel Maija Temo has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.32, set at Viña Cubing Fest V SC 2025, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Bolivia. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since October 2019, he has put 492 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.97 in October 2019 to 9.01, a 53% improvement. Samuel has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
