Caleb Kim has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.57, set at UCSD March A 2026, puts him in the top 10.6% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,833rd in the United States. Across 5 competitions since December 2025, he has put 67 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.26 in December 2025 to 12.08, a 26% improvement. Caleb has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
