David Sidler has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.45, set at Swisscubing Cup IV 2024, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 91st in Switzerland. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2022, he has put 289 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.46 in December 2022 to 11.50, a 51% improvement. David has entered twelve 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.
