Ricardo Marinho

3×3 · top 28.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2013 · 2013MARI04

Ricardo Marinho has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.29, set at Open Cubo Mágico Domus Sapiens 2016, puts him in the top 28.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,719th in Brazil. Across 6 competitions since April 2013, he has put 103 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.16 in April 2013 to 16.29, a 30% improvement. Ricardo 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.
