Marvin Orlando Salguero Pardo
3×3 · top 1.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015PARD02
Marvin Orlando Salguero Pardo has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.42, set at Viña Cubing Fest IV SC 2024, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 21st in Bolivia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since May 2015, he has put 989 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 29 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.84 in May 2015 to 7.42, a 32% improvement. Marvin has entered 28 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
