3×3 · top 3.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022MARI05
Elliott Marini has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.38, set at Cheltenham Summer 2022, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 284th in the United Kingdom. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2022, he has put 149 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.34 in May 2022 to 8.38, a 26% improvement. Elliott has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
