Matthew Lorenzi

3×3 · top 8.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022LORE07

Matthew Lorenzi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.46, set at Odd Olympia 2023, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,842nd in the United States. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2022, he has put 216 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.74 in October 2022 to 10.46, a 54% improvement. Matthew has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
