Aiden Dajun Kim has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.04, set at Alberta 5th Anniversary 2020, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 137th in Canada. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2018, he has put 239 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.54 in May 2018 to 7.04, a 55% improvement. Aiden has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
