Xander Carrero
Pyraminx · top 7.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025CARR08
Xander Carrero has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.87, set at Cubeando en Navidad Caracas 2025, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in Venezuela. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2025, he has put 266 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.41 in April 2025 to 14.32, a 41% improvement. Xander 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.
