Chris DeAngelis

3×3 · top 61.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2008 · 2008DEAN01

Chris DeAngelis has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 29.38, set at Antelope Valley Winter 2013, puts him in the top 61.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36,637th in the United States. Across 23 competitions since May 2008, he has put 150 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:02.17 in May 2008 to 29.38, a 53% improvement. Chris has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
