Mark Madamba

3×3 · top 8.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2014 · 2014MADA04

Mark Madamba has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.34, set at Pinoy Speed Cubing Olympics 2015, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 896th in the Philippines. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2014, he has put 140 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.42 in May 2014 to 10.34, a 54% improvement. Mark has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
