Tadeo Villanueva
3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2014 · 2014VILL06
Tadeo Villanueva has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.68, set at CECREA 2016, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 347th in Mexico. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2014, he has put 367 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.94 in October 2014 to 9.68, a 51% improvement. Tadeo has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
