3×3 · top 7.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015LEEE01
Eric Lee has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.91, set at Caltech Winter 2016, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,963rd in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2015, he has put 179 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.33 in April 2015 to 9.91, a 35% improvement. Eric has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
