Hyeon Kyo Kyoung (경현교) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.90, set at Korean Championship 2022, puts him in the top 0.43% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in Republic of Korea. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since December 2013, he has put 324 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.03 in December 2013 to 5.90, a 35% improvement. Hyeon has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
