Itai Neumann has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.22, set at Israel Championship 2026, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 158th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2022, he has put 62 official solves on the record across one event.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.44 in March 2022 to 9.22, a 26% improvement. Itai has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
