3×3 · top 2.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024SALC03
Vasco Salcedo has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.79, set at Peru Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 75th in Peru. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2024, he has put 88 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.92 in November 2024 to 7.79, a 21% improvement. Vasco 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.
