William Backhaus Lopes Moura has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.81, set at Brasileiro Etapa de Verão 2014, puts him in the top 27.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,610th in Brazil. Across 12 competitions since July 2010, he has put 211 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.61 in July 2010 to 15.81, a 36% improvement. William has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
