Levente Szabó
3×3 · top 8.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2014 · 2014SZAB03
Levente Szabó has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.26, set at Bratislava No-Cutoff Open 2015, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 128th in Hungary. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2014, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.63 in October 2014 to 10.26, a 38% improvement. Levente 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.
