Michael Gallo

3×3 · top 36.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014GALL07

Michael Gallo has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.83, set at Colorado Qualifier 2018, puts him in the top 36.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20,595th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since November 2014, he has put 57 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:07.99 in November 2014 to 18.83, a 72% improvement. Michael has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
