Ivan Goldman
3×3 · top 5.9% of 288,433 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023GOLD09
Ivan Goldman has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.40, set at Claret Cubea BA 2025, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 102nd in Argentina. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2023, he has put 215 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 78% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.20 in November 2023 to 9.40, a 45% improvement. Ivan 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.
