3×3 · top 23.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2006 · 2006JONG02

Eom Jong-Hyun (엄종현) has been competing for 21 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.81, set at Happy Sheep Year 2015, puts him in the top 23.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,280th in Republic of Korea. Across 6 competitions since January 2006, he has put 42 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% 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 16.55 in January 2006 to 14.81, an 11% improvement. Eom has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
