Davit Taranyan
3×3 · top 5.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2021 · 2021TARA01
Davit Taranyan has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.27, set at International Children's Day Evening Armenia 2024, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Armenia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2021, he has put 113 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.64 in December 2021 to 9.27, a 13% improvement. Davit has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
