Sofia Orta

3×3 · top 39.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016ORTA01

Sofia Orta has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 19.68, set at Florida 2019, puts her in the top 39.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22,070th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since April 2016, she has put 85 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 40.81 in April 2016 to 19.68, a 52% improvement. Sofia has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
