Marco Syfrig

Square-1 · top 4.9% of 25,272 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015SYFR01

Marco Syfrig has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 9.25, set at Swisscubing Cup I 2023, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Switzerland. Until October 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 84 competitions since September 2015, he has put 2,527 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.50 in September 2015 to 10.08, a 46% improvement. Marco has entered 84 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
