3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023BOAR01

Filip Boariu has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.79, set at Iasi Back to Cubing 2024, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 127th in Romania. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since April 2023, he has put 279 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.55 in April 2023 to 10.79, a 35% improvement. Filip has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
