David Murray

3×3 · top 45.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2009 · 2009MURR01

David Murray has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 21.94, set at Cubetcha 2009, puts him in the top 45.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26,099th in the United States. Across 3 competitions since February 2009, he has put 43 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:01.09 in February 2009 to 21.94, a 64% improvement. David has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
