Flavia Festa
3×3 · top 10.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2021 · 2021FEST01
Flavia Festa has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.84, set at Italian Championship 2022, puts her in the top 10.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 377th in Italy. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since October 2021, she has put 411 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 8 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 15.65 in October 2021 to 10.84, a 31% improvement. Flavia has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
