Vince Alvino has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.55, set at Adelaide Summer 2025, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 76th in Australia. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since January 2023, he has put 365 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 37.56 in January 2023 to 15.24, a 59% improvement. Vince has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
