Alex Patti

3×3 · top 7.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017PATT05

Alex Patti has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.87, set at Northside Cube Days 2020, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 655th in Australia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2017, he has put 145 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.30 in September 2017 to 9.87, a 66% improvement. Alex has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
