Dario Bianchini

3×3 · top 5.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017BIAN01

Dario Bianchini has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.18, set at Italian Championship 2019, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 202nd in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2017, he has put 181 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.85 in April 2017 to 9.18, a 51% improvement. Dario 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.
