Marcelo Pereira da Silva

3×3 · top 42.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2014 · 2014SILV23

Marcelo Pereira da Silva has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 21.00, set at Oficina Open 2016, puts him in the top 42.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,754th in Brazil. Across 17 competitions since August 2014, he has put 108 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:03.77 in August 2014 to 21.00, a 67% improvement. Marcelo has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
