Santiago David Paz Gutierrez
3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023GUTI19
Santiago David Paz Gutierrez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.07, set at Na'Guara Metropolis Lara 2024, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Venezuela. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2023, he has put 116 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.93 in May 2023 to 8.07, a 38% improvement. Santiago has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
