Marta Fernandes Cid has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.01, set at Azeméis Open 2025, puts her in the top 1.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Portugal. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since September 2023, she has put 1,157 official solves on the record across ten events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.09 in September 2023 to 7.01, a 50% improvement. Marta has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
