Etan Huang
3×3 blindfolded · top 3.6% of 12,334 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022HUAN26
Etan Huang has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 27.48, set at Please Be Solved UBC 2026, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 12,334 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Canada. Until October 2012, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since June 2022, he has put 284 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.16 in May 2023 to 9.70, a 54% improvement. Etan has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
