Samantha Levy has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.69, set at Istres Open 2024, puts her in the top 35.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,130th in France. Across 21 competitions since October 2021, she has put 359 official solves on the record across five events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 41.37 in October 2021 to 20.69, a 50% improvement. Samantha has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
