Angelo Contrino
3×3 · top 1.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022CONT10
Angelo Contrino has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.87, set at Rubik's Italian Championship 2025, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 56th in Italy. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2022, he has put 367 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.89 in September 2022 to 6.87, a 70% improvement. Angelo has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
