Nándor Szabó

3×3 · top 8.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016SZAB02

Nándor Szabó has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.17, set at Vienna Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 122nd in Hungary. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2016, he has put 234 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.36 in April 2016 to 10.17, a 34% improvement. He 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.
