Mark Vincent Pecaña has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.85, set at Laguna Speedcubing Open II 2023, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 228th in the Philippines.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.46 in January 2017 to 7.85, a 25% improvement. Mark has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
