David Arakelyan

Pyraminx · top 6.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022ARAK01

David Arakelyan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.84, set at Appleby Winter A 2023, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 239th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2022, he has put 63 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.33 in October 2022 to 15.06, an 18% improvement. David has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
