Luther John Daroy

3×3 · top 2.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015DARO01

Luther John Daroy has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.01, set at Tagum City Open 2019, 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 12 competitions since November 2015, he has put 299 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.33 in November 2015 to 8.01, a 73% improvement. Luther has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
