3×3 · top 2.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018FIOC01
Ryan Fiocca has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.96, set at UIUC Fall 2022, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,557th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2018, he has put 141 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.74 in May 2018 to 7.96, a 38% improvement. Ryan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
