Daniele Panna has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 38.24, set at Italian Championship 2023, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Italy. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2016, he has put 251 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.87 in April 2016 to 11.31, a 29% improvement. Daniele has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
