William Aldana
2×2 · top 5.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2019 · 2019ALDA03
William Aldana has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.07, set at Nacionales Guatemala 2022, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Guatemala. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2019, he has put 53 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.65 in November 2019 to 9.84, a 52% improvement. William has entered two 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.
