David Gálvez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.65, set at Happy Cubing Acton 2021, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in El Salvador. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since September 2016, he has put 1,096 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
