Aftanase David Mihail has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.92, set at Romanian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 28th in Romania.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.36 in March 2024 to 11.15, a 59% improvement. Aftanase has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
