Ion Dinicescu

3×3 · top 91.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016DINI03

Ion Dinicescu has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 1:00.03, set at Bucharest Summer Cubes B 2023, puts him in the top 91.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,448th in Romania. Across 6 competitions since November 2016, he has put 40 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 23% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:30.89 in November 2016 to 1:00.03, a 34% improvement. Ion has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
