Adrian Munteanu has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.24, set at Rubi-Xtreme Piatra Neamt 2017, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 85th in Romania. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since September 2015, he has put 200 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.90 in September 2015 to 13.11, an 18% improvement. Adrian 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.
