Filippo Brancaleoni

2×2 · top 0.14% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2008 · 2008BRAN01

Filippo Brancaleoni has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.72, set at Trentin Open 2011, puts him in the top 0.14% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Italy. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 91 competitions since June 2008, he has put 3,872 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 43.22 in June 2008 to 8.65, an 80% improvement. Filippo has entered 91 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
