Andrea Santambrogio has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 7.41, set at Legnano Open 2013, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Italy. Until November 2013, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 36 competitions since June 2008, he has put 893 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.46 in June 2008 to 10.33, a 77% improvement. Andrea has entered 36 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
