3×3 blindfolded · top 2.8% of 12,178 all-time · competing since April 2013 · 2013BONA01
Martial Bonarek has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 24.70, set at Angers ESEOpen 2022, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in France. Until June 2013, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since April 2013, he has put 177 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.21 in April 2013 to 9.90, a 64% improvement. Martial has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
