Roan Paone

3×3 · top 0.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017PAON01

Roan Paone has been competing for 9 years. Their best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.63, set at Appleby Fall B 2023, puts them in the top 0.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Canada. Until March 2013, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 72 competitions since June 2017, they have put 2,757 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Their 3×3 best has come down from 13.47 in June 2017 to 5.63, a 58% improvement. Roan has entered 72 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
