Giuseppe Catalano
3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023CATA06
Giuseppe Catalano has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.63, set at Lodi Speedcubing 2024, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 159th in Italy. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2023, he has put 90 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Giuseppe has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
