Iago Julio-de Almeida
3×3 · top 0.66% of 289,612 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022ALME01
Iago Julio-de Almeida has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.25, set at Speedy Southport 2025, puts him in the top 0.66% of the 289,612 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 69th in Australia. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2022, he has put 268 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 72% of the 36,575 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.04 in January 2022 to 6.25, a 55% improvement. Iago has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
