Marko Bugarski

2×2 · top 6.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022BUGA02

Marko Bugarski has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.26, set at Serbian Championship 2023, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in Romania. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2022, he has put 284 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.16 in October 2022 to 12.61, a 34% improvement. Marko has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
