Haim Lee (이하임) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.96, set at Korea Newcomers PM 2025, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 283rd in Republic of Korea. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2024, he has put 84 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.33 in June 2024 to 2.19, a 49% improvement. Haim has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
