3×3 · top 7.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016DIAZ14
David Arturo Díaz has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.01, set at Copa de Invierno 2017, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Paraguay. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since September 2016, he has put 276 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.48 in September 2016 to 10.01, a 20% improvement. David has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
