3×3 · top 1.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023HOON01

Bae Kyung Hoon (배경훈) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.91, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2023, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 73rd in Republic of Korea. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since April 2023, he has put 15 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.36 in April 2023 to 6.91, a 44% improvement. Bae has entered two competitions.

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.
