Owen Marchlewski

Square-1 · top 9.6% of 25,272 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022MARC08

Owen Marchlewski has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 11.88, set at Lets Cube Sigua 2023, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 678th in the United States. Until October 2009, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2022, he has put 223 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.90 in June 2022 to 13.71, a 34% improvement. Owen has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
