Dusky Samson Saballa has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.01, set at Visayas Championship 2017, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 263rd in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2017, he has put 139 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.02 in February 2017 to 8.01, a 58% improvement. Dusky has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
