Juan Manuel Mariscal

3×3 · top 7.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015MARI02

Juan Manuel Mariscal has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.16, set at Happy Spring MDQ 2018, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 134th in Argentina. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2015, he has put 130 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.30 in May 2015 to 10.16, a 44% improvement. Juan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
