Vladimir Raducanu

3×3 · top 9.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2019 · 2019RADU01

Vladimir Raducanu has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.77, set at AOpen in Rome 2022, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 126th in Romania. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since September 2019, he has put 23 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.02 in September 2019 to 10.77, a 10% improvement. Vladimir has entered two competitions.

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.
