David Zemdegs

3×3 · top 89.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016ZEMD01

David Zemdegs has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 55.87, set at Turn Around Tassie 2020, puts him in the top 89.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 287th in Latvia. Across 42 competitions since November 2016, he has put 221 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 13 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:42.34 in November 2016 to 55.87, a 45% improvement. David has entered 42 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
