Santiago Zárate Marín

2×2 · top 30.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2019 · 2019MARI04

Santiago Zárate Marín has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.27, set at Festival Cubero Blind 2019, puts him in the top 30.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 985th in Colombia. Across 6 competitions since April 2019, he has put 63 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.18 in April 2019 to 17.41, a 44% improvement. Santiago 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.
