3×3 blindfolded · top 7.4% of 12,178 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017MARI20

Aurelien Marion has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 41.84, set at Belgian Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Belgium. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since November 2017, he has put 519 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.61 in November 2017 to 10.80, a 48% improvement. Aurelien has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
