Davion Wells

3×3 · top 6.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014WELL02

Davion Wells has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.59, set at UCSD Summer 2017, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,505th in the United States. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since February 2014, he has put 172 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.15 in February 2014 to 9.59, a 41% improvement. Davion has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
