Lana Jorich B. Samson has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.36, set at West Visayas Championship 2019, puts her in the top 8.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 905th in the Philippines. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2018, she has put 89 official solves on the record across five events.

Lana has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
