Haruo Aoki (青木治雄) has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 30.02, set at Kansai Open 2016, puts him in the top 62.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,173rd in Japan. Across 14 competitions since January 2009, he has put 76 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.69 in January 2009 to 30.02, a 33% improvement. Haruo has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
