3×3 · top 4.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025LIBM01
Itamar Libman has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.83, set at Cubing for Yuval Israel 2025, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 129th in Israel. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2025, he has put 120 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.24 in March 2025 to 8.83, a 28% improvement. Itamar has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
