3×3 · top 0.36% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022CIAM01

Giulio Beniamino Ciampa has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.76, set at Ipswich Fall 2025, puts him in the top 0.36% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 235th in the United States. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 58 competitions since January 2022, he has put 2,117 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.48 in January 2022 to 5.76, a 50% improvement. Giulio has entered 58 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
