Tom Zanin
3×3 one-handed · top 4.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022ZANI02
Tom Zanin has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.96, set at Hurlubiks Cube Mouscron 2025, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Belgium. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since November 2022, he has put 405 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.72 in November 2022 to 10.22, a 48% improvement. Tom has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
