Elijah K. Yi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.39, set at A Bruin Cube Day Spring 2023, puts him in the top 22.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12,067th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since August 2022, he has put 42 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
