Emanuele Lamon

3×3 · top 3.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017LAMO01

Emanuele Lamon has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.18, set at Abruzzo al Cubo 2025, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 121st in Italy. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since September 2017, he has put 1,278 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 15 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.30 in September 2017 to 8.18, a 53% improvement. Emanuele has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
