Adriano da Silva Souza
3×3 · top 3.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022SOUZ08
Adriano da Silva Souza has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.11, set at Desafio Hungria em SP 2025, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 132nd in Brazil. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since July 2022, he has put 247 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.97 in July 2022 to 8.11, a 70% improvement. Adriano has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
