2×2 · top 2.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2009 · 2009GAGG02

Andrea Gaggioli has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.64, set at Eretum I 2024, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 100th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2009, he has put 172 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.96 in September 2009 to 10.68, a 37% improvement. Andrea 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.
