Samuel Montoya Garcia
2×2 · top 8.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017GARC65
Samuel Montoya Garcia has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.44, set at Colombia Nationals 2018, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 269th in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2017, he has put 111 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.66 in December 2017 to 14.53, a 26% improvement. Samuel has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
