Alexandros Kontogiannis
3×3 · top 7.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2023 · 2023KONT03
Alexandros Kontogiannis has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.05, set at Greek Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Greece. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2023, he has put 172 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.94 in October 2023 to 10.05, a 22% improvement. Alexandros has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
