Marcos Jacome has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 53.96, set at Big Bang Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11th in Guatemala. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since November 2015, he has put 522 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.67 in November 2015 to 12.22, a 67% improvement. Marcos has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
