Daniel Nechoha (Даніель Нечога) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.81, set at Chernivtsi Open 2025, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 127th in Ukraine. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2018, he has put 153 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs.

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.
