Bogdan-Andrei Toma has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.53, set at Bucharest Cubing September 2025, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 80th in Romania. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2025, he has put 108 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
