Marco Manno has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at Sicily Open 2018, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 53rd in Italy. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since August 2015, he has put 1,174 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.25 in August 2015 to 8.27, a 70% improvement. Marco has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
