Davi Araújo Souza
3×3 · top 4.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023SOUZ12
Davi Araújo Souza has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.86, set at IFBA 2026, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 209th in Brazil. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2023, he has put 141 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.21 in October 2023 to 8.86, a 38% improvement. Davi has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
