3×3 · top 3.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022ALEY01
Víctor Manuel Castillo Aley has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.12, set at Peru Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 106th in Peru. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since August 2022, he has put 267 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.70 in August 2022 to 8.12, a 48% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
