David Hove

3×3 · top 77.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2012 · 2012HOVE01

David Hove has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 40.15, set at INSPIRIA Cube Day 2013, puts him in the top 77.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,150th in Norway. Across 4 competitions since November 2012, he has put 60 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 20.28 in November 2012 to 10.53, a 48% 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.
