Musa Marsh
3×3 · top 0.66% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023MARS21
Musa Marsh has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.25, set at Hampshire Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.66% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 57th in the United Kingdom. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2023, he has put 292 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.99 in August 2023 to 6.25, a 22% improvement. Musa has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
