Alessandro Simone has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.19, set at Milan Winter Open 2014, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since June 2012, he has put 206 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
