Vincenzo Coppola
Square-1 · top 1.3% of 25,272 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022COPP03
Vincenzo Coppola has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 6.68, set at Parthenope Summer Open 2024, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Italy. Until April 2017, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since December 2022, he has put 723 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 13 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.10 in December 2022 to 9.21, a 17% improvement. Vincenzo has entered 17 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.
