David Nugis
Skewb · top 1.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018NUGI01
David Nugis has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.07, set at Võru Värk 2019, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Estonia. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since April 2018, he has put 449 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 8.87 in April 2018 to 2.07, a 77% improvement. David has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
