Gabriel Marr
3×3 · top 3.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018MARR05
Gabriel Marr has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.57, set at BC Cubing Comeback B 2021, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 376th in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2018, he has put 110 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.63 in June 2018 to 8.57, a 56% improvement. Gabriel has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
