Chiara Placenti

3×3 · top 93.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2013 · 2013PLAC01

Chiara Placenti has been competing for 13 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 1:06.41, set at Monterotondo Open 2015, puts her in the top 93.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,761st in Italy. Across 9 competitions since November 2013, she has put 62 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 8 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:44.59 in November 2013 to 1:06.41, a 37% improvement. Chiara has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
