Andrea Princic

3×3 · top 3.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015PRIN02

Andrea Princic has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.52, set at Eretum Open 2017, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 147th in Italy. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2015, he has put 368 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.29 in October 2015 to 8.52, a 44% improvement. Andrea has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
