3×3 · top 2.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023MAKR02
Maria Anna Makri has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.02, set at Athens Tabletop Festival Open 2024, puts her in the top 2.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in Greece. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2023, she has put 246 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.21 in May 2023 to 8.02, a 28% improvement. Maria has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
