Stefano Zanini has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 19.41, set at Milan Blind Day 2011, puts him in the top 38.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,284th in Italy. Across 8 competitions since March 2011, he has put 60 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.84 in March 2011 to 19.41, a 43% improvement. Stefano has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
