David Bekkedahl has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.69, set at Northern Colorado Summer 2015, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 718th in the United States. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2013, he has put 231 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.50 in April 2013 to 10.68, a 31% improvement. David has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
