Sebastián Márquez

3×3 · top 4.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022MARQ01

Sebastián Márquez has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.95, set at Unicentro Armenia V 2026, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 189th in Colombia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since January 2022, he has put 437 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.99 in January 2022 to 8.95, a 63% improvement. He has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
