Davide Ferraro has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.58, set at Camuni al Cubo 2024, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 157th in Italy.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.52 in October 2012 to 8.58, a 60% improvement. Davide has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
