David Noh
3×3 · top 8.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2019 · 2019NOHD01
David Noh has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.25, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,514th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2019, he has put 101 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.21 in November 2019 to 10.25, a 22% improvement. David 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.
