Rebeca Costa Barbosa has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 22.71, set at Parnamirim Open 2018, puts her in the top 47.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,119th in Brazil. Across 6 competitions since May 2017, she has put 72 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 30.76 in May 2017 to 22.71, a 26% improvement. Rebeca has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
