Tadeo Emiliano Lorenzana Orihuela
Clock · top 7.8% of 32,048 all-time · competing since February 2024 · 2024ORIH01
Tadeo Emiliano Lorenzana Orihuela has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.18, set at Mexican Championship 2025, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 61st in Mexico. Until July 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since February 2024, he has put 125 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.86 in February 2024 to 15.04, a 34% improvement. Tadeo 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.
