Yehude Rudy Canaza Apaza has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 41.36, set at TCG Spring 2017, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Peru. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since March 2013, he has put 492 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 35.91 in March 2013 to 10.73, a 70% improvement. Yehude has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

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.
