Mario Förderer
3×3 · top 6.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016FORD02
Mario Förderer has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.50, set at Lake Constance Cubing 2022, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 320th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2016, he has put 277 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.53 in October 2016 to 9.50, a 24% improvement. Mario has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
