David Sebastián Farfán Tello
3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2019 · 2019TELL04
David Sebastián Farfán Tello has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.79, set at Fundación de Cuenca Open 2023, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in Ecuador. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2019, he has put 65 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.95 in July 2019 to 10.79, a 23% improvement. David has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
