Nevo Dessau
3×3 · top 2.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016DESS01
Nevo Dessau has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.78, set at Cubing for Yuval 2024, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 82nd in Israel. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since August 2016, he has put 370 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.53 in August 2016 to 7.78, a 77% improvement. Nevo has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
