Ethan Huynh has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.83, set at Hillsboro Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,835th in the United States. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2017, he has put 221 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 20.05 in August 2017 to 9.83, a 51% improvement. Ethan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
