Marlin Theo Rasch

3×3 · top 9.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025RASC02

Marlin Theo Rasch has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.66, set at Bremium Cubing 2026, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 486th in Germany. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2025, he has put 98 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.74 in April 2025 to 10.66, a 22% improvement. Marlin has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
