Ian Park
3×3 · top 8.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023PARK42
Ian Park has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.48, set at Jurupa Valley Cubing Fall 2023, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,874th in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2023, he has put 158 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.35 in July 2023 to 10.48, a 59% improvement. Ian has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
