Filippo Zanetti

3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016ZANE01

Filippo Zanetti has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.23, set at Milan Cube Day 2017, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2016, he has put 233 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.59 in March 2016 to 9.23, a 44% improvement. Filippo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
