Simone Belli has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.21, set at Muggiò Spring 2025, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 204th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2024, he has put 277 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.48 in April 2024 to 9.21, a 12% improvement. Simone has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
