3×3 · top 7.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025JUAR01
Santiago Juarez has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.04, set at Temecula Valley Spring 2026, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 394th in Mexico. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2025, he has put 116 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.96 in March 2025 to 10.04, a 23% improvement. Santiago 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.
