Santiago Matias Aldair Magallanes Atoche
2×2 · top 4.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2024 · 2024ATOC01
Santiago Matias Aldair Magallanes Atoche has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.96, set at Plaza Center Cube Lima VI 2025, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 114th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2024, he has put 125 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.86 in October 2024 to 12.09, a 47% 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.
