Michael Maurice Merabella has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.57, set at Elite in Eagan 2024, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,194th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2021, he has put 177 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.03 in December 2021 to 8.57, a 15% improvement. Michael has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
