3×3 · top 2.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022KIMD11

Dong Hee Kim (김동희) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.86, set at Seoul Spring 2023, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 159th in Republic of Korea. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since October 2022, he has put 29 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.58 in October 2022 to 7.86, a 53% improvement. Dong 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.
