Oleksandr Marchuk (Олександр Марчук)
3×3 · top 7.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018MARC08
Oleksandr Marchuk (Олександр Марчук) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.86, set at Ukrainian Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 196th in Ukraine. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2018, he has put 136 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.82 in June 2018 to 9.86, a 17% improvement. Oleksandr has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
