Santiago Peña Urrego has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.67, set at Paulo VI Cartago 2025, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 52nd in Colombia. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since March 2020, he has put 1,218 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 22.31 in March 2020 to 9.86, a 56% improvement. Santiago has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
