Angelo Piccolella has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.64, set at Monterotondo Open 2015, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 247th in Italy. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2012, he has put 578 official solves on the record across 13 events.

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.
