Giorgio Zonta

3×3 · top 2.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014ZONT01

Giorgio Zonta has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.92, set at Swisscubing Cup I 2017, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 103rd in Italy. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since December 2014, he has put 666 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.63 in December 2014 to 7.92, a 42% improvement. Giorgio has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
