3×3 · top 9.0% of 288,433 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015HUHA01
Hans Hu has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at Big Cube Bash 2017, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,996th in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2015, he has put 99 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.74 in May 2015 to 10.50, a 33% improvement. Hans 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.
